Nice petrified wood!
More background and floating plants would be a beneficial addition.

That’s a nice setup. The you can’t identify look like kenyi cichlids. If so, they’ll probably cause compatibility issues with your other fish

Thank you! Luckily I have a few spare aquariums for these guys if they get to rough!

I'm gonna do a blue background but will be moving it in the next month so just waiting for that! I'm gonna be adding many more plants the aquarium has been setup 2 years so I think it's time for some easy plants and moss!!

They’re really nice looking fish. I was thinking about including them in the Malawi tank I set up, but I think they’re too aggressive for my peacock cichlids. You might need to overcrowd them in your other tank and provide lots of hiding spaces

I have a 90 gallon that's gonna be my cichlid aquarium with lots of wood and rock! I'm just waiting to move in the next few weeks. I'm setting it up right away and gonna seed it so hopefully it only takes a couple weeks to cycle! I'll post pictures on here of the progress!

The compatibility issue is that the new cichlids are Rift Lake cichlids which need hard water while all the other fish are soft water fish. One or other group will suffer long term, depending on the hardness of the water.

I fully agree with @Essjay .

You have water incompatibility issue and also incompatible fish.
Your 4 new Cichlids are aggressive fish which may kill other smaller fish.
