I will be getting 75 gallon tank and I would like some ideas on what to stock it with. I have kept africans before(mbuna) and although I loved them, I want to move on to something different. I would like something that grows an the larger side(between 6-10in). I have looked at haps and they seem good are there any other suggestions. Also, I am not looking for a full out community tank with 20 different fish. Just a few select fish. Again I have looked at an all male hap tank and that seems good but I would like other options mostly from lake tanganyika.

Calvus colony? with some others
 
Calvus colony sound cool. Could I keep Lepidiolamprologus in this footprint?

Probably not the greatest idea. They tend to kill everything in the tank when they want to breed. Species only tank might work out fine.
 
maybe I will stick to comps.
 
want major aggression...get telmatochromis caninus....hot looking fish. or some kendalli, maybe mix calvus and compressiceps.
