Default African cichlids and datnoids

I have a 65 gallon tall with rock and artificial plant structure. The tank is very diverse. A mix of malawi and tangyanika cichlids that get along awesome. Just came across two juvi datnoids and was curious as to the compatibilty of the fish.

This may not be the norm, but my experience with Dat's is when they get a little larger they become very aggressive. But as i said that has been my experience with them. I can understand why you want one Beautiful fish.

Macskee if you would like to post an intro to yourself, please feel free to do so in the intro forum.

What species of datnoid are they? The care for each species does vary a bit
