Will this work for a stocking list for a 55 gallon tank 4 ft long.

1 male-3/4 female Cobue
1 male-3/4 female Rusties
1 male-3/4 female Cobalt Blue
1 male Electric Blue
1 pleco

Could I also add

1 male-3/4 acei
 
I would drop the pleco. IMO. it will just add more bio load. add a power head and you'll be good. What's your filtration like?
 
I have an Aqueon 55 HOB plus a wet/dry 29 gallon sump with a flow of about 500 gallons diffused back with a spray bar along the back behind my rocks.

Actually respect this pleco as he is the only one I have ever had to live. (He is still small about 3 inches)
 
Ok I have made a small change to my stock list:
5--Cynotilapia afra cobue
5--Iodotropheus Sprengerae
3/4--Labidochromis caeruleus or Metriaclima Cobalt Blue or Pearl
5--Pseudotropheus Saulosi

Do you think this will work better than my last?

better footprint, but same problem, unless you want a tank full of hybrids
yep chances are high you'll get hybrids
 
Ok i'm lost again. I was told to find different genus to select my species from to reduce the chance for Hybrids. I selected from 4 different ones that were not similar in color either. So any advice on which ones might be the ones to be culprit for mixing.
