In regard to the Rivulatus, I would expect to see more of a nuchal hump in a male. Im glad you said male...I want a male Rivulatus. But im worried because he/she doesnt have much of a hump. I will get you some more pics..Thank you for your help
I had a mixed malawi tank, Demasoni, Labs, zebras, then I tried to rotate in some peacocks...Bad results, All male peacocks are a much better idea. Now I keep just a few large SA cichlids...
Its been my experience that you should not mix them. I just kept losing expensive peacocks. Mbuna are just aggressive. Ive kept all kinds of mbuna. They just don't like peacocks or haps. I have a 125 gallon tank as well. Never tried over stocking.... that may work well, it has for others

The easiest, most flexible filter is a sump. Not to mention a large tank needs a sump IMO. Yes you can use a can filter. But a sump really is the way to go.
Be careful...you have to watch the male to female ratio closely. It's fine when they are young. I decided to go all male fish. I've mixed mbuna, peacocks, haps...i still have to watch them close. Females cause chasing to turn to killing occasionally
