This will give you a good place to start. Check out the profiles too. Just remember that Africans all have different personalities. It is very trial and error.

i know how different africans can be, ive had them before. They aren't like tropicals communities where they all get along. I had a peacock cichlid housed with other peacock cichlids in a 55 gallon tank, needless to say one peacock to rule them all. So i converted the 55 to tropical community and now im getting a 75 and making it african cichlid

I currently have a 75 gallon African Cichlid tank, I only have electric yellow labs and blue Aceis (sometimes called yellow tailed Acei). They get along well. Both of these pick up their eggs and carry them in their mouth to hatch then they eventually spit them out. I have seen the yellow ones spit them out but I haven't seen the blue ones do it (I haven't had them as long. I always have babies to give away.
Currently I just got another 75 gallon tank and I am goint to make it an angelfish tank.
I am going to move the other fish from the cichlid tank so I can add some other type of African cichlids possibablt Jewel or Kenyi. There is also an albino one I might get too but it is harder to come by.
