I have a mix of malawi's and victorian's and I want to mainly keep the vics because they are less aggressive and have different colors. what can mix and what can't mix. The malawis I have are a Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus, a rusty, a 6" bumble bee not currently aggressive, a flavus currently aggressive, a hybrid of a cobalt and something else, and a yellowfin mbamba. Any help with any of these questions would be highly appreciated.
 
Even though Victorians are a lot smaller than most Haps and other cichlids, they will hold their ground.
I have a Hap. 44, Ruti Island and a Flameback Victorians mixed with with larger haps and peacocks and they do just fine.
 
I keep hap burtoni with my mbuna. I'd say stay away from smaller more peacful vics like ruby greens but the larger ones like nyerei and some of the other bigger haps do fine.
