Can You Help Me With Stocking Options?

[guppy_man]

im starting a malawi setup soon, just ordered the stuff i need, but im not sure on stocking, i really like saulosi, i know the males turn a really nice colour blue when they mature, and the female are an orangy colour.
so i know im wondering if i can get maybe 4 saulosi, 3 female, 1 male.
what else do you think would be ok with saulosi's, and are not aggressive?, oh and btw its 4ft x 1 1/2 x 1.

im asking all you cichlid lovers, i need your assistance, like i said im quite new to malawis.

6 yellow labs and 4 rustys would make a easy tank but it depends on what you like.


here is a couple to keep away from

Any melanochromis very aggressive
demonosi just as bad


Mostly it depends on whats available to you and how far your willing to travel.

i want to really go for colour and less aggression as possible, i will be running a eheim 2224, with an extra fluval 4+ internal filter, so no problem with filtering, so maybe i can go a little overstocked, that will lessen the aggression won't it?

wat about....

2 female saulosi, 1 male
maybe 3 rusties 2f 1 m
and some type of albino?
