    That is a Tropheus moorii species.

    It's not wrong at all to have one of each fish that don't look at all alike. That's something that I've been suggesting. It's just that mbuna will spawn with ANY female. They're all mouthbrooders so they don't have to be the exact same species. And since with most mbuna they cannot be distinguished male or female by looks it is difficult. Thats why you have to start with a group of one of each of fish you like and that don't look similar. Then if you notice a couple fish picking on another fish- chances are that fish is a female and they're all trying to breed with her.

    OK i am thinking about taking everything out but this:
    I think this is what i am going to keep in my tank.
    6 yellow labs
    Are the red zebras that are kind of orange going to be ok with the yellow labs or are they too similar?
    I am going to get one of each of these
    Synadontis Soloni- $12
    Synadontis Decorus- $12
    for twelve dollars a piece.(assuming thats a good deal)
    I am going to get 6 aceii
    I am going to take back my demasoni and get
    6 Maingano Electric Blue Cichlid- $8 (electric blue johanni, hoping they are less aggressive than the demasoni)
    6 more cobalts
    6 Lavender Rusty Cichlid
    Can i do 6 pseudotropheus sp. elongatus chewere in my tank with what I have so far?
    Can i do 6 cynotilapia afra (cobue) in my tank as well?

    that would be all of them. If i could do the last 2 then i would most likely get rid of the orange ones (red zebras) as well.

    I got i all set up now with all the fish in it and it looks great. I'm going to put more rocks in and try and stack them to the top of the tank. I'm going to maybe put some slate in there or something. I'm picking up a 75 gallon tank this weekend and am going to set up a lake tanganyika tank. I am working on a stocklist now. thanks for all the help.

    Cool, no problem. In my opinion the best tanganyikan cichlids are tropheus by far. I mean come on, just look at this guy!

    First choice: 4-6 black calvus (not sure about how many)
    Second choice: 6 Juli. Transcriptus Bemba
    Open Water: 12 cyprichromis tricolor (I found a website that says just that so I'm assuming they arent jumbo unless they only come in jumbo)
    I also have about 20 escargot shells that I would like to use for some fish so what shell dwellers would go good with my list so far.
    L. Ocellatus Gold(would these be a good choice for the substrate shell dweller in my tank and if so how many should I get)

    If this works too: 6 'Lamprologus' caudopunctatus (Kapampa)

    My tank has sand with white texas holey rock.

    Is it true that the shell dwellers will get eaten by the calvus if they stay together longterm?
