I would say 55 gal for both, FM's due to their eventual size and Lombardoi because they can't be kept with anything other than a Mbuna community and a 55 gal is best for that. (Although can be done in slightly smaller tanks)

A pair of FM's would do well in a 3' tank (30g) IMO

Lombadoi can't be kept in pairs. They must be kept in harems - one male to many females, and if the tank is not overstocked there are almost always problems. A 55 is as small as I'd go - despite their small size these guys are very mean.
