Malawi Tank Set Up

[Repeat]

After being on the forum for the short amount of time that i have, i have come to the conclusion that i was very ignorant setting up my tank. So i was wondering if i could get some help setting up my hexagon 45 gallon tank? I would like to have various peacocks, electric yellow labs, and some electric blues.
If it is a problem for people in other countries( different common names) i can look up their scientific names.
Thank you for all the help i get

a hexagon is a horrilbe shape for mbuna. They need long tanks, not tall.

The ones i was looking at weren't exactly mnubas, but i was probably wrong. Lol, do you know any fish would be happy and comfortable in a taller tank?

Angels! They like tall tanks!

Angels sound great! They will have to make residence with my parrot(hybrid) fish, but thats ok they never bite fish they just kinda. . . uh push them around literally. lol

I just did some quick reading and from what I read that sounds like they'd do fine together. Might double check with someone with more experience though. If you want more than one angel, I'd highly recommend starting with them as little babies, and even trying to get a pair, as I think they do better in a community if they grow up together (and with other fish). I had two in a 28 that I had to separate as one picked on the other. Plus, I think its fun to watch them grow up! Good luck with the rest of your stocking decisions
