In advance I apologize for my English, it is not my native language.

I have a 200 l (approx. 50 gal) tank. It is filled with a lot of different fish, that are not exactly compatible. They are as follow:
Pair of labidochromis caeruleus
2 young labidochromis caeruleus
2 young metriaclima estherae
couple of young aulonocara fire fish and jacobfreibergi (3 or 4)
3 Blood red parrots
5 young Green Terrors
1 platydoras costatus
1 Angelfish

My tank is such a mixture, because I was keeping African cichlids for a while. I am planning po give away all of the fish except the GTs and the Parrots. And when the GTs for pair, I'll give away the other GTs. leaving with pair of GTs and the parrots.

I know this tank is way too small for them, so I am planning on buying a 350-400 l (92-105 gal) tank.

At the request of philipraposo1982, I am attaching some vids and pics.

I too have an odd mix of 2 africans and a bunch of ca/sa cichlids. It can work of they have similar water needs and you give them enough space. Introducing them young is a good idea too. Upgrading to that 100 gallon will be pretty good too even when you sell a few off.

For sure keep a divider at the ready if need be.

I'm glad you like my little GT. I have another GT with even more pronounced hump, but he is too shy.

I'm feeding with HIKARI chichlid gold and TetraMin XL granules. I ordered the HIKARI granules a week ago, they turned out to be a little too big, but the fish are still trying to eat them. I'm planing to order Hikari cichlid staple "S" size and cichlid gold "S" size.
 
What kind of food you feed your GTs? Floating or Sinking? 'Cuz I'm feeding hikari cichlid gold floating and my parrots are getting most of the food, and the GTs do not notice it.
