Stock questions

[CharlieTuna]

I finally have my 210g up and running. I'm in the process of cycling so it is time to think seriously about my stock.

I had orginally planned on an all Mbuna tank, but I'm thinking I want a little bit of variety. Can I mix Tropheus sp and Lake Victorian with Mbuna? The Mbuna I'm considering; [FONT=&quot]Pseudotropheus polit, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Pseudotropheus demasoni, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Labidochromis caeruleus, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Pseudotropheus Flavus , [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Cynotilapia afra[/FONT][FONT=&quot]. Lake Victoria; [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Paralabidochromis sauvagei[/FONT][FONT=&quot], [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Neochromis omnicaeruleus[/FONT][FONT=&quot], [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Astatotilapia latifasciata. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Probably only one variant of Tropheus sp.
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]I would like a couple of larger Haps too, but I'm thinking they would cause trouble with their size and dietary needs in a herbivore tank? I will probably stay away from these guys but I thought I would throw it out there. The two I like; [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Dimidiochromis compressiceps, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Fossorochromis rostratus.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

What do you guys think? Is this a train wreck in the making or is this doable in a large tank? [/FONT] [FONT=&quot]

Thank you for the advice. Curious why not to mix the tropheus. Do you think I'm okay with everything else? How about the big haps, should I leave them out?

D. compressiceps will eat demasoni adults.

Tropheus do not do well in mix tanks with mbuna and haps.

Tropheus have a stricked diet...

Thanks for the help, I'm going to stick with Mbuna.
