I have 4 Yellow Labs, 1 Ps.Acei, 2 Ruby Reds, 1 Blue Johannii, and 1 Rainbow Shark. Other info in my profile.

I'm looking to add a few more fish. I noticed these are available at my LFS:

* Moliri Moori (I must have written it down wrong. It was small and dark with white spots)
* Bumble Bee
* Tropheus Beboisi

Are these compatible?
 
If the bumble bee is P. crabro, then yes it is.

The other 2 are Tropheus speicies. They generally nee a 6ft tank and 20 fish in a colony to do well in the long term.

Before adding more fish, what size is your tank?

Good to know re: tropheus and bunblebee. My tank is 55 gallon. Other stats are in my profile.

So Ps. Crabro is compatible with the Yellow Labs? Anything special I need to know about them?
I have a 55 gallon. It's looking sparse nowadays and I feel like I should add more to spread aggression. I just lost one of the Yellow Labs mentioned above to Cichlid bloat.
 
be aware the bumblebees WILL boss your tank around from your stock list about. & x2 on the tropheus species
