What Fish?

[aaronnorth]

Hi, these are pictures of adult fish of what i am keeping:

copadichromis borleyi 'red fin' (1M, 2F)

astatotilapia latifasciata (1M, 1F)

aulonocara jacobfriebergi (1M, 1F)

I am wanting a different colour, and a fish that stays 4-6", that isn't too aggressive, and that is of a different genus so there is no cross-breeding or more aggression. I have found these fish and i was wondering how they would go with the above.

Melanochromis perileucos - http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=766
pseudotropheus socolofi - http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=919
labidochromis caeruleuas - http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1669 (i am not sure if this stands out to much against the others?)
Altolamprologus calvus - http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1578
Chalinochromis popelini - http/www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1587


thanks, aaron

IMO L.caeruleus would probably be the best addition to your current stock. They are omnivores, and in the wild they mostly eat insects, snails, and mollusks, though they do benefit from some vegetable matter as well. So from a dietary stand point they would mix well with your other fish. Behavior wise they are a good fit as well, they are one of the most peaceful mbuna and are often paired with peacocks and peaceful haps due to that.
