Smallest mbuna cichlids?

[Christophercanary]

What are the smallest full grown mbuna cichlids that are commonly available? Interested in some of the dwarf species and would be interested in a list of these.

Thanks,
C.

No I haven't, they are on my list. They are one of the best for smaller tanks.

I kept Pseudotropheus demasoni, they topped off at under 4 ", I was able to keep a large breeding colony in a tank as small as 55 gallons.
They would spawn as small as 2".

Awesome, I'm new to mbunas and want to do a mbuna tank, I'd like to get into breeding but want to start out just experiencing keeping some of the fish.

I have a 29 gallon right now that I have a kenyi and a hybrid yellow im calling it. Can demasoni and kenyis got along together?
