Malawi:

• Labidochromis Caeruleus “Electric Yellow” 1” inch (adoption $2 each)
• Pseudotropheus Saulosi 1.5+” inch (adoption $3.00 each)
• Aulonocara “Ruby Red” Female 3”+ inch Female (adoption $5 each)
• Aulonocara stuartgranti "Blue Neon Mozambique" 4” inch Female (adoption $5 each)
• Aulonocara baenschi “SunShine” 3.5” inch Female (adoption $5 each)
 
oh. hehehe. i already have yellow labs, i guess i forgot to take them out of that list. i found that list on craigslist. $5 each for the fish. $2 each for yellow labs.
 
From that list, I wouldnt get any of the Aulonocara (peacocks). They will not be aggressive enough to hang with the mbuna you have.

There could be a problem with the Saulosi also. The male could mistake a yellow lab female with one of his own and create hybrids.

I would try something with enough diversity to not create problems. Something like Red Zebras would be good with your Labs and Socolofi.
 
other options iodotropheus sperengae (rusty cichlid) if you can get 'em - beautiful and quite peaceful. Also pseudotropheus acei (either variety...perhaps the tanzania colouration would be better contrast with the socolofi...hang on though you have albino socolofi so either I guess :)
 
so a hybrid is like a crossbreed then? that is pretty intense. i'm not even sure if i am going to get any others. i mean, i'm happy with my labs and socolofi, and i am also going to get an ahli which are really cool so i do not really need anything else, i was just wondering what those fish were like.
 
they're nice.

you need to have the right size tank for them though. where are you putting the ahli ?
 
i will have all my mbuna cichlids and ahli in a 75-100 gal tank.
 
ya, and i will make sure they get lots of caves and stuff to swim through. and i got a powerhead with a pretty strong current so i think they will like that.
