Cichlid stock, are these okay together?

Hi,
I have been talking to a breeder and I will be getting
4-5 Electric Yellow labs
4-5 Cynotilapia Cobue Afras
3 Copadichromis Azureuz
& 3 German Red Peacocks.

Do these sound like they will work?

Thank you

How big is your tank....the other list would do fine except for the peacocks which may not be able to take the beatings and the agression from the afra's especially if there isn't big space for all of them...JMO....

Hi,
Thank you. I have a 55 gallon and just want to do whats best for the fish. Maybe I should hold off on the Peacocks, huh? Does it help any if you are buying baby fish or does that not matter when they mature? I am planning on buying babies and then when they get old enough to sex, I will only be keeping 1 male of each.
thanks again

peacocks don't normally do good on a mbuna tank....Your going to have to choose between a mbuna tank or a hap and peacock tank....Although some people have been successful keeping peacocks on a mbuna tank, I wouldn't recommend it on a 55 galon.....this is just my opinion...if your going to buy them all small then it will work for now, but it might be a different story when they reach maturity.....
