Hi all its Trickze. Ok so I just want to share this I have for my aquarium, 2 Yellow Labs m/f, 2 Electric Blue Johanni's m/f, 2 chipokae not sure of sex one is yellow and the other is blue and yellow, 4 Pseudotropheus Socolofi's plus I still have my Polyterus, 2 Irridescent Sharks and 2 snails. I am so excited will get pics when I can get them in the tank, still cycling sand. Thanks for the help.

First of all...what is the tank size? Secondly, the Bichir and iridescent shark both get well over 2 feet...the Shark might get much longer. So they will need a tank well over 100 gallons I assume. Both of the latter like a much lower ph. The shark is from a different continent altogether. The Mbuna might work...Powder Blues, Labs and Johannii should be okay. Chipokae need a larger tank than the other Mbunas you have selected. Anyway good luck Mbunas are kewl! Maybe a good replacement for the shark would be a Synodontis catfish species from the Rift Lakes :)
