Stocking advice wanted...

I have a 29g piled high with rocks and wood and anubias with aragonite substrate about 2.5" deep. I currently have 1 julidochromis ornatus, 1 eretmodus cyanostictus, and one golden chinese algae eater in there. I want to add 1-3 more fish that are fairly colorful, preferably from tanganyika. However, it seems like everything i try to put in there gets bullied by the ornatus. I tried putting a julidochromis transcriptus in there after moving the rocks around, but he got bullied the same way. Any advice, suggestions, questions, or comments welcome! thanks!

You might see if you can get a pair of the Eretmodus cyanostictus or the Julies. It may be best to start with 6 young and let them make a pair among them selves.

I have a trio of lepidiolamprologus hecqui in a ten gallon tank upstairs... would those work? i have been hesitant to add any aggression to this tank (especially the kind that could come from breeding) because the cyanostictus is a CARES species, and i paid way too much money for him. Thanks guys!

I have kept various shellies like gold occies,stappersi,brevis,and ornatippinis with j.transcriptus and j. Dickfeldi without incident but never the Hecqui
