African Cichlids
Yellow Auratus x3 2-3" 2.00 each-EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE WILL ERRADICATE TANK MATES
Electric Yellow 2-3" 2.00-MELLOW EASY GOING, BEST FOR BEGINNERS
Albino x3 2-3" 2.00 each-ALBINO WHAT??
Electric Blue x3 2-3" 2.00 each-WHICH ELECTRIC BLUE? THERE ARE SEVERAL COMON NAMES
Tropheus Duboisi 2-3" 8.00-SPECIALIAZED FISH, SHOULD ONLY BE IN GROUPS OF 15+ AND SPECIALIZED FEEDING. UNSUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS
Orange Lombardoi 2-3" x3 2.00 each-EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE ALSO.

at this point, prices dont matter, aggression is the problem. go back to the drawing board.

I have to agree with Waterbender, with the exception of the l.caeruleus(electric yellow), I would avoid all of the species you listed.

What are the dimensions of your tank?

If it's at least a 4-ft it is suitable for mbuna, but you are still somewhat limited on numbers. For that sized tank I wouldn't do any more than 12 adult fish. Since mbuna need to be in groups, you'll either want to do 4 species of 3 individuals each or 3 species of 4 individuals each.
