Cichlid tank ideas, what do you think?

Question

Here are some ideas, don't worry about tank size, its huge! 200+

Naturally red rocks with pretty striped red river bed rocks piled up against the back of the tank in an interesting way with i male cobalt blue zebra cichlid and four females. Or should I go with plain electric blue labs?

idea #2- black rocks, same idea, with yellow labs.

idea#3- a green terror tank with either red rock, black rocks, or some sort of pretty decor that will keep the alkalinity up.

any other cichlid ideas, which of these do you think will be the most successful, interesting, and beautiful? by interesting I mean the fish interact, swim around and do more than sleep.

Answer 1

I like idea#1 and idea#3 and you can add the 1 male cobalt and only 3 females and maybe add some red terror cichlids

so I would go with idea number 1 cobalt blue zebra cichlids and maybe add red terror cichlids and green terror cichlids since you have a pretty big tank

Answer 2

At 200 gallons of tank size, there is no reason at all why you can't have both the Co-blue zebra's and Yellow labs actually.  That's got to be at least a six foot long tank and would be quite enough space to have them, and more actually.  Why don't you find a nice looking Hap type as well to add to the Mbuna types here, and really round it out.  So actually my choice is combined new idea 4.  I keep and breed Africans myself, so I personally wouldn't even consider idea 3, but that's just me.
