S.fryeri are one of the haplochromine (hap) species of Lake Malawi, Africa. They are open water predators and as such, will eat any fish small enough to fit in their mouths. The males typically reach 7" with females slightly smaller, and due to their size and need for open swimming space require a minimum 75gal (4-ft) tank. They would do best in a hap community, the clown loaches would be ok with them as would any plecs that can adjust to a higher PH, but the angels and RTBS would likely be shredded.

Long term though he simply won't be able to stand up to the mbuna, they really are on a whole other level when it comes to aggression.
