Want one more species for my 110

[lt dan]

As of now, my tank has
Pseudotropheus elegans acai
Cynotilapia hara
Labidochromis hongi Sweden
I'm not sure what last fish to get for this tank, was thinking metriclima msobo, but not sure if they'd pick on all the other fish.

Not to derail, but I wouldn't recommend the msobo, you'd have several different males with vertical barring. It could work, but you'd have to be very vigilant to avoid hybridization. I'd recommend rusties, polit, maybe Williamsi or something non blue-barred. A melanochromis would work too, they have horizontal stripes.

Dave's usually has any or all of these, and I highly recommend any of his stock.

+1.

what are the dimensions of your tank? is it 4 foot long, or 6?

Some maingano would be really nice in there, or some of the more aggressive types if its 6'

4'

IMO, I'd just build larger groups of what you already have for good ratios, and pull out extra males as needed.

Yeah, I kind of figured that, now I need a 6' tank as well

If you want to add another fish a non-cichlid would like be the best option. Synos are always a good addition to a cichlid tank. Also "dither fish" like good sized barbs can be a good option also.

Nice. I have about 14 of them from real good European stock. Parents are rediculous. When yours grow up we should trade some with each other to mix up the blood line

To my recollection, none of my male msobo ever had any kind of barring, vertical or otherwise. It was just electric blue and deep black splotches all over the body.
