tankmates for mbunas

[addictedtofish]

in a 55 gallon aquarium i have 7 mbuna cichlids a small pleco and 2 yoyo loaches. Are there any other fish that are combatible with these fish?

Also i have a 33 gallon aquarium with a breeding pair of convicts, what should i get for an algea eater?

thanks for your suggestions, addict

I dont know what kind of mbunas you have but you may be able to keep peacocks with them, if the mbunas arent too agressive as peacocks are a little less agressive and may get picked onbut they are both from lake Malawi and have the same water requirements and almost same diet as mbunas. Mbunas cant eat as much protein. Plus you cant beat the colors of peacocks. You can also keep others that are from lake Malawi, such as Haplochromis and others. You can keep some syno cats as they do well with Africans. A little research will go a long way.
