Cichlid Compatibility/stocking Advice

04 July 2018 - 02:58 PM

Hi all,

I am a little out of touch with cichlids as I haven't kept them for over 15 years but have more recently had a marine aquarium setup (and now shut down).

I have a 4x2x2 with sump with >400L capacity. I intend to stock it with the following species. I'm thinking 16-20ish cichlids plus a few bristlenoses.

Dragon Blood - Aulonocara baenschi
Cobalt Blue - Metriaclima callainos
Electric Yellow - Labidochromis caeruleus
Electric Blue - Sciaenochromis fryeri
Red Shoulder Peacock - Aulonocara hansbaenschi

My research suggests these species should get along, I think, but I'm in need of a little advice on how many of each to keep and the split between males and females.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers guys.
