hemichromis exul with other jewels

[bela]

I have managed to get some hemichromis exul but not too many, as they are quite expensive. I have bought 7 of them.

Some people that have kept them say that it is better to lightly overstock to avoid agression.

Do you think I could throw in two or three bimaculatus or lifalili to complete the colony or do they will not get along?

The tank is a 40 breeder

Thanks

I currently have 10 of them in a 40 breeder. They all came as juveniles (I got them from Dean, who got them from Lawrence Kent), and have grown out in the tank together. I have some skirmishes, but haven't seen aggression get out of hand.
