75 gallon Mbuna tank stocking

[Just another fish keeper]

So I’am new hear and I’ve kept fish for a year. I’am getting a 75 gallon in 5 months and I was thinking a Mbuna cichlids for stocking. I chose some of the more peaceful species so I was wondering if a Senegal bichir would be fine in there. Tell me what you think

6 yellow labs
6 rusties
6 purple acei
6 white fin acei

Thanks

Drop one of the acei for maybe an afra and you'll be set.

What about the bichir and why drop one of the acei.

 

[james99]

No sure about the bichir, never kept them. The 2 acei will crossbreed, most would probably be eaten, but anyone that survives you're stuck with. They also look really similar make similar, giving you 12 dark blue/purple fish.

any suggestions for a relatively peaceful species of mbuna then. Thanks
