Melanochromis in general i found are very aggressive and wouldn’t put them in your tank they need some ‘space’ as they can get pretty crazy. I would go with the mbamba in stead, plus they look alot cooler.
your tank looks good, in the future your gonnna need to make bigger caves, as your fish grow. also remember that your fish will breed so, either get some sort of syno, catfish to reduce the fry population when that time comes, or be perpared to fish out the fry. trust me when i first started to get fry thought it was the coolest, but if you don’t control them than your tank will be overstocked and soon will be pulling out your hair.
question did you rinse the slate super good? slate is all layered rock and lots of dirt gets in there.
so good luck and get us some pics
