As you might now by all my other questions, I’m new to cichlid aquariums; actually, with the fish I had ten years ago, you could say I’m new to fish keeping. I narrowed the fish I want to the list I have below with the help of this forum and a few other websites.

What fish would you recommend for a beginner like me and how many of each do you think will work?

I put them in the order I like most.

Labidochromis caeruleus (Electric Yellow Lab)
Pseudotropheus demasoni (Demason)
Metriaclima crabro (Bumble Bee)
Metriaclima lombardoi (Kenyi)
Melanochromis johannii (Electric Blue)
Metriaclima estherae (Red Zebra)
Melanochromis auratus (Golden Mbuna)
Metriaclima callainos (Cobalt Zebra)
Pseudotropheus socolofi (Pindani)

Synodontis Lucipinnis

I finally got my new aquarium.
I have a 104 gallon tank, (59” long, 17” deep, and 24” high)
 
How big is the tank? I'd say the yellow labs or pindani would be a good peaceful option. Demasoni are really aggressive and when I worked at an lfs they would gang up on the really weak members of the tank and just beat the snot out of him. They look nice but really it's on of my add with caution species.
