I'd be wary of buying any fish without doing my own research first, and the name of the fish is pretty important for that.

Looks nice but I'd advise checking what you're buying next time, rather than trusting the LFS.
 
It looks nice!! Looks like you have some nice fish too.

I'd also find out the names of the fish(if I were you). Then you'd know exactly what you're getting. Do some research and find out. One of the issues w/africans is some eat only protein and some are only herbivores. You can run into issues w/feeding if you mix the two. If you feed certain fish protein, it call kill them w/the bloat.

Also, you can run into a fish that magically keeps growing, and growing and then o crap, it's too big and starts eating some of the other fish. Possible.

Otherwise,

Nice setup :D
