i have a 90 gal mbuna tank and i need some more fish. now i have 9 mixed fish in the tank...(yellow lab, zebra, 1 halembe trohpeus, some psuedotropheus). im thinking on about 10 more fish. let me know your opinion on the fish (all at davesfish.com)

2 more tropheus halembe
3 pseudothropeus "willamsi north"
2 melanochromis cyaneorhabolos maingano
3 metiaclima mosobo magunga

will these fish get along with the fish i already have?
 
I dont see anything to be worried of in that list as far as aggression goes

If you wanted to push it... you could probably get another 5-6 in there lol... throw some Cy. Afra in there too
 
Tropheus aren't Mbunas or at least I thought they weren't.. If that's the case.. Throw some Neolamprologus Cylindricus or Neolamprologus leleupi.. I have some with my Mbunas, haps and peacocks. I love their personalities.. They're like the secret agents of the tank. Always hugging the rocks and slithering through nooks and crannies. Because of their shape/size and agility I've never had a problem with one of em getting caught by any other. The others quickly realize they don't have a chance to catch em (provided they have ample places to swim in the others can't follow) and don't really bother to try after a while.
Here's an example... Melanochromis Auratus(male at that) perfectly fine with Cylindricus being next to him cause he knows he can't catch em.
