What can I add to my tank?

[Carmen1979]

I've set up my first cichlid tank and bought a group of fish that had already been together..the problem is I need/want more. I've been researching, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what is a good idea to put with them. AFAIK, mine are all male. I have a 50 gallon tank. Here's what I have:

melanochromis auratus (I've heard I shouldn't get another melanochormis with him)
yellow lab
OB zebra
jewel cichlid

Suggestions please! I'd love one blue fish (my husband likes them) but that's my only request. I'm thinking I should get females for the existing fish, but I'm not sure what else I can add. Thanks!

Well in that size tank i woulod add 10 -15 more. You have a few really agressive fish there auratus and jewel. Make sure you have a lot of rockwork and add more together that are on the high end of the agression scale. Pseudotropheous elongotis will fit the bill here. so will johannis.
