Lake Malawi setup

[Mcg tanks]

I have a 55 gallon which I have setup up for a lake Malawi tank I my lfs said that 4-5 yellow labs
4-5 cobalt zebras would do fine in the tank
Is there any possibililty I could put one more species in here
Thanks

Yep 4-6 of another wouldn't be a problem

Acei get a little big for a 55. You could have them temporarily but would eventually need to fish them out and re-home them.

Why not stick with the two species you have now and add a couple of nice male peacocks? Maybe 3 or 4 different varieties?

I have a blue alhi, hes the fastest growing fish out of my stock and a bit aggressive. Too aggressive for my Bengas and my others thinking of trading him in.

You could add some maingano as your third type
