Hi, friends!
I would like to see your opinions here. Please, choose only one species; according to your experiences.

From my experience of all those, albeit in an all male tank, most certainly the albino socolofi. However I wouldn't necessarily put the blue socolofi into the same bracket.
 
I've had all of those species at one time or another, albino socolofi was by far the least aggressive, in fact way too mellow to hang on his own among other mbuna (but as Coler mentioned the blue socolofi was by far the most aggressive, had to be taken out, because he took over half the tank and the whole pile of rocks along with its terrotories).

I've voted for the afra, even though it's a little more aggressive than an albino socolofi, it both can stand his own with other mbuna and it's mellow enough to even go into a peacock tank. My adult afra along with a lab is in the peacock tank right now and I see absolutely 0 aggression from him.
 
I chose the Pseudotropheus socolofi (albino morph, Snow white) I have two in my tank and they never seem to bother anybody..I also have 2 different types of Cynotilapia afra four in total and they seem to chase each other and other fish more often nothing to bad though.
 
hey buddy my next opinion would be the metriaclima man those melanochromis sp. are just plain nasty critters and the afra well their teeth say it best.
 
Hey, thanks for your opinions; pitt!!!
