A long time ago I started a Tang tank, with Brichardi, leleupi, sexfaciatius, brevis shellie, and all worked for a long time. Then through a tank move or two, a 7. 1 earthquake, things devolved to where I have a nice colony in a 4x2x2.5 150 gallon tall. Other than cyprichromis, what other species should I consider for a little more diversity? Ideally ones I can find in SoCal.
N. Brichardi colony additions?

Hi, what about Julidochromis transcriptus or Altolamprologus compressiceps?
But it is hard to introduce new fish to an established brichardi colony.
May work better with juveniles.
Nice size tank for these fish!

In a 4 foot tank I do think it would be hard to find tankmates to go with brichardi. They like to kill everything in the tank but each other. May end up like your first tank with only the brichardi remaining in the longer run.
Have no clue if this will work but I just got some lamprologus occelatus gold and they are fun to watch. They’re in a large tank so I threw some shells in each corner and each group literally hovers around their chosen corners all the time. They’re constantly digging and unearthing their shells but never venture far.
Teh first go, all were introduced as juveniles, the leleupi bred first, some fry made it, one sexafaciatus jumped to his death, one disappeared after the earthquake, the leleupi didn’t survive the latest tank move . Might be time for some rainbows as dithers. In the upper reaches of the tank, which is pretty empty
