best of luck, i hope it all turns out well, the neolamprologus are great fish and the multifasciatus are perfect for a beginner, although he may want to in the future look into the neolamprologus brichardi, they are absolutely beautifuly colored fish with super long lyrtail fins and are a super brilliant centerpiece fish, hardy enough as long as the aggression is kept to a minimum in the tank as they are a more peaceful fish, some of the breeds of the brichardi come in diff color phases my favorite i would have to say is the marigold. but that's just personal preference.
again best of luck, i hope all turns out well!!

Thanks Brandon. We will think about Bichardi once the tank is running smoothly. We will put lot of shells in one corner for the Multifasciatus and we'll place a big stone somewhere near the middle to divide the thank and give territory for another species. Maybe a pair of Bichardi or Julidochromis Marlieri. We are not sure yet. I’ll let you know!
Thanks again Brandon and Robert you have been great!!! j

i have adult mbunas and i had brichardi in with them but when the brichardi started breeding they got so agressive they beat up my mbunas even my zebras.they are fiercely protective of their young. they don't just have them and desert them ,they all stay a famly and keep breeding til the take up the territory of the whole tank.. anyway that was my experience with them so i took them to the lfs.

Re: 29 gallon Cichlid tank
sometimes the seam quality is just not up to snuff http://www.testking.net/testking-HP2-B109.htm is the tank loaded evenly? {do you have a lot of weight on one area.
