The Ahli is pretty mild tempered. I keep one with yellow labs and they do well together. He should do fine with the planned stock.
As far as feeding Africans this is what I do. I have a good staple pellet food. I use NLS(NewLifeSpectrum)

I also use HBH http://www.hbhnet.com/Products/africanattack1.htm
I use these daily...I use mostly NLS but sometimes run out and have to use the HBH as back up. I also use a homemade frozen food...(You can find the recipe in my signature). This recipe was made exclusively for my Africans and my goldfish....although I feed it to all my fish on ocassion. I also feed frozen brine shrimp as well as live mealworms.
Now I feed the Pellets daily. I feed the frozen in addition to the pellet food on Mon, Wed, and Sun. I feed a smaller portion of pellet on these days. My Africans don't eat (fasting day) on Tue. which is also tank cleaning day. I will feed the live and frozen Brine shrimp on occasion once a week or so.
In conclusion I would feed a good quality staple food and supplement with a schedule that fits your lifestyle....that is my two cents worth!
