new stock list

[rrcoolj]

Hey guys, one of the reasons I wanted to keep african cichlids is because they are aggressive but the stock list I have now dosen't exactly have aggressive fish.
old stock list
5 acei Pseudotropheus acei
5 Electric Yellow Labido (Labidochromis caeruleus)
5 Powder Blue Cichlid (Pseudotropheus socolofi)
I want fish that are a litle more aggressive than the acei and the yellow lab although I might switch out scolofi too. SO I did some research and found some really aggressive cichlids and I would really appreciate it if you guys helped me choose a new stock list, thanks!
here's what I found
Auratus (Melanochromis auratus)
Kennyi (Pseudotropheus lombardoi)
Johanni (Melanochromis johannii)
Powder Blue Cichlid (Pseudotropheus socolofi)
Red Zebra Cichlid (Pseudotropheus estherae)

the tank is a 55 gallon. I want three species that grow to 5inches or more and then a smaller species that grows too 4inches or less if possible. I'll be geting 4 of each species. Any other species suggestions are welcomed. I'll keep the previous stock list as a back up plan.

I would go with:
Auratus
Johanni
Red Zebra
Maingano
Don't know about the compatability but they would be a nice color variation.

Yes the ones above are not that aggressive in comparison to the other fish you listed, but for a 55 the previous list will be more than aggressive enough.

Kenyi in a 55 with 4 of them would kill most tank mates or kill the other males off.

Auratus(Melanochromis auratus)
Kennyi (Pseudotropheus lombardoi)
Johanni (Melanochromis johannii)
Powder Blue Cichlid (Pseudotropheus socolofi)
Red Zebra Cichlid (Pseudotropheus estherae)

this list will not work well... A species only tank of any of these would be aggressive and great to look at.

I've actually already redid my list. This thread was kinda a waist. Lol, oh well
here it is
4 red zebra
4 yellow labs
4 scolofi/powder blue
4 maingano

And yes i do realize that red zebra can get pretty aggressive but I like the color on these fish and i'm willing to see how it works

This I think can work out.
