I am looking for a couple more africans to complete my tank. I currently have the following, bumblebee, blue johani, yellow lab, and some kind of a blue cichlid (sorry dont remember the name), and an african clawed frog. They are all around 4" in size. The tank is a 75 gallon with a rena XP3 for filtration. My water out of tap is around 7.8 and really hard, I use buffering substrate to get the water up to 8.0 to 8.2. I would like to add 1 or 2 more african cichlids that will help set the tank off. I wil post pictures up sometime soon but for now I am open to suggestions.
 
In a 75 gallon, with good filtration, you could keep 20-25 mbuna easily.

Agreed. With good filtration and plenty of water changes you can load up on mbunas.
 
I want to keep the frog, its not big enough to eat the fish, but big enough that they leave it alone. I have the 4 in their right now, I was hoping more for size then alot of fish, but I will look into maybe a tank of about 10. I feel the filtration is adequate, I used it for a discus tank no problems.
