I would drop the Fryeri. Mine did not go well long term with mbuna... Plus they eat mbuna in the wild. (smaller ones). In the aquarium it is not as successful.

Ahh ok i figured they might...i just wanted a solid bright blue fish.

Does the rest of the stocking sound good?

I am against using clown loaches in african cichlid tanks, but that is my opinion.
