I have a 60x15x24 inch tank( 350l) .I have these fish in my tank .Will this mix be ok together?Most are quite small at the moment ( except C.Afra,Caerleus and Fulleborni ) . I will be taking out the excess males when they grow and can be sexed.

1m/1f Cynotilapia Afra Edwardi Cobue ( Nkhata bay ) Wild Caught ) Currently holding eggs
6 Petrotilapia Chitimba
2m + 4f Metriaclima Estherae ( minos reef )
7 Cynotilapia Mbamba yellowhead
9 Pseudotropheus Acei W/T Ngara
7 Labidochromis Blue Lundu
7 Metriaclima Zebra Mpanga
1m + 1f Labeotropheus Fulleborni ( Katale )
1m + 2f Labidochromis Caerleus
4 Syno Petricola

Tank is filtered by external filters.Eheim 2217 and rena xp3.Playsand/coral sand mix as substrate and btank back wall covered in ocean rock.

Any expierience with these fish? Chitimba and Blue Lundu.

The only problem may be having 2 types of afra in there be careful with crossbreeding and you could proberly do with more females a 1-3 ratio is best

You really have some big fish in there Petrotilapia and the Fulleborni are the biggest mbuna you can get.

Labidochromis Blue Lundu not sure what these are is it a Labidochromis Blue bar "Lundu island" or it could be a Labidochromis caeruleus "Lundu Island"( which are blue and i want some )

Interesting fact caeruleus is blue in greek or latin you know what i mean

The afra were the ones i thought also,but when i asked i was told they should be ok as the Mbamba females are brown and my female cobue is purple.I shall wait and see.I am looking to get rid of most of the Mbamba,Chitimba,Acei and Zebras once they get bigger and i can sex them.Hopefully get 1m/2f .I will then add some other fish. They are Labidochromis Blue Bar ( Lundu Island),i wish they were blue Caerleus Thanks

Two Afra`s where ? The Afra Cobue but the Cynotilapia Sp. Mbamba ? I`d say those were the only question marks but your tanks big enough IMO.
