Tankmates?

[mahemaheman85]

So i finally found a lfs that had jewel cichlids , so i picked up what seems to be 2 females and a male. Making my total fish count at 8 (other 5 bein mbuna) in this tank, which of course is to small so im gonna go pick up at least a 55 for them tomorrow.

Which means i can pick up acouple more fish!! This is what im gonna have in there so far
1 ice blue zebra
1 red zebra
2 lemon yellows
3 jewels

Any suggestions on some more fish would be great, thanks.

im partial to the melanochromis family, melanochromis joanjohnsonae would be my favorite, but i havent seen them them around for a while. melanochromis johanni are much more common and very nice.

Oh and theres 1 more, i dont remember the name but its blue, and its fins are kinda black

There are alot of blue mbuna with black on their fins, but the most common ones you can find are socolofis.

M. Greshakeis look great when they mature.
