I've got one in my main tank (which includes acei and yellow labs) and he exhibits normal mbuna behavior towards the others. In your mix a demasoni probably wouldn't exhibit the aggression they unleash towards their own kind (which can be quite brutal).

that is what i was trying to say. as long as u only have 1 in the tank there are quite peaceful. the peacocks are also very peaceful. they are not mbuna but will fit nicely into your tank. i agree with kay-bee19 aswell about the cobalt. i have 2 in my tank and they are as peaceful as my labs. they are also a really nice baby blue colour. i personally dont like the zebra cobalt but you may like the stripes. i have a pic of a plain cobalt and if u go to my photos and u can find a zebra conalt very easily on google images.

Kay bee if you click the "my info" button you will see my tanks.. i may have to update it.. but its a 55 gallon. I think im gonna stick with what it is now and jus tget rid of the johanni and auratus. The kenyi are doing fine with the acei and labs. I am going to up the amount of labs and acei and go from there.

I looked up the cynotilapia afra and they are beautiful.. but i don't see any at the LFS.. any othe r name they might go by?
