What cichlids for 33 Gallon flat back hex?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would very careful adding too many mbuna to a tank that size..for africans a better choice might be tanganyikan shellies
 
Its a Flat Back Hexagon thats a little different then a Hex tank which would be a tall tank. It a regular shape tank just 3 front glass panel instead of 1. 36 x 13 x 16

I seen these fish at my store and liked them but dont know if/how it could work they all fall within range of each other and are kinda peaceful.

1 or 2 Orange Cockatoo Apisto

1 or 2 Rainbow Cichlids (Herotilapia/Archcentrus multipinosa)

1 or 2 Buffalo/Lion Head Cichlids

1 Firemouth(Im thinking ill skip this one)

5 Dwarf Puffers if possible

oh ok then that will probably be fine then def leave out the firemouth and then just see if you can get pairs of each of the dwarves you listed to get along, should be possible in that tank just make sure youv got lots of driftwood and stuff to separate territories, im not sure how big the puffers get or their temperaments so cant comment on that but aren't "freshwater" puffers usually brackish? is there any puffer that is actually totally freshwater for its whole life?
