So I picked up a 55 gallon relatively cheap and I wanted to try my hand at raising and breeding some sajicas. I've never tried breeding cichlids before but I know (or have been told) sajicas are very good parents. But my question is what, if any, other fish should I put in there? I have a...

I am getting a whole bunch of insignus females for my gorgeous young male, but I also have a 6" marginatus that is pretty stunning. I was curious if anyone's tried or seen a cross of the two? I couldn't find anything but I figured they aren't the most famous haps so maybe it just wasn't well...
