Default Will these be happy together?

I currently have a GBR. Someone offered me the fry of a fuelleborni. I know they get about 5" long. My main concern is temperament and living conditions. Can you tell me if these two will be ok together. My tank offers a lot of hiding spots and a couple caves. I know they are territorial. Anyway, let me know please. If not, PLEASE clue me in on another cichlid that can be kept with my GBR.

No they won't. Water conditions are different and the GBR will end up dead from stress from the other fish. The only cichlid I can think of off hand is maybe an angel if the tank is big enough.

thanks. the tank will also support an angel so I may go that route I just don't find them extremely flattering. Is there any other "show" fish that would work well?
