i really need some help.my tank is a very mixed bag and i'm not sure what to do.

2 x pseudotropheus socolofi
1 x hap sp44
1 x zebra obliquidens
1 x maylandia greshakei
1 x copadichromis azureus
2 x neolamprologus caudopunctatus
1 x maylandia lombardoi
1 x labidchromis caeruleus
3 x hemichromis guttatus
2 x nimbochromis livingstoni
1 x copadichromis borleyi
1 x melanchromis ???
3 x pimelodus pictus


my tank is 121 cm long,41 cm deep,55 cm high.i know my tanks not massive and i know my mix of fish is totally wrong,but should i keep the above,or,make the tank for a trio of livingstoni and 2 eyebiters and nothing else.if i keep the above,i know the jewels,neolamps,pims need to go.also may get rid of the 2 socolofi and the 1 kenyi.should i stay small or big.please help.
 
anyone????? i would prefer the 3 livingstoni and the 2 eyebiters.how long would they be ok in my tank before i would need to upgrade???
 
You know the Jewels and Tangs aren't the best fit already and it seems Malawi is the way you want to go, so would you rather mbuna tank or a hap tank? It's a matter of personal preference.
 
with your preferences your looking at aprox 55 inches of fish in a 72 gallon tank...
huge bioload
huge agression with the Livingstonii,
imho, slowly get rid of your mbuna while saving for a 150 gallon or bigger, then rethink your choices, i'm just afraid your compressiceps will suffer the rages of the livingstonii.
