55g new cichlids!

[Convict559]

Ok, i gave alot of thought into my 55g tank for cichlids. I decided to give away the female green terror to a local breeder. I have restarted my stocking for my 55g. so here is what i got
1- male pink convict
1- male zebra convict
1-jewel cichlid
1- red zebra
1- pindani socolifi.....

i was thinking of buying a blue acara but i wasnt to sure, i want my cichlids to live comfortable...i wanna add two yellow labs. but what else could i maybe add?

I would either stick with an SA/CA or african stock list as their behaviors and requirements are quite different and will become staggeringly apparent in the coming months. 2 male convicts might also present a problem in a single tank.
I'm sure others will chime in with more specifics and more detailed advice.

the convicts awsome i have alot myself and breed em, problem, you have 2 males that will both deff want there own territories, but than again it could work, however just so you know cons can get super aggressive

Afraid it wont work mate.

Jewel will go on the rampage, as will the cons.

Your rift lake lake Africans will need drastically different water parameters and diets to your other fish.

Get your walking boots on, youll be back to the LFS in no time
