CL with mbuna in a 55g 2 months

[markoi]

Hi Loach forums, this is my first post here. I have a bit of a dilema. My cousin is a fish keepr as well and he bought me 5 clown loaches for my new 120g. The problem is that it hasn't been setup yet. I have to adjust the stand and buy some other stuff like a filter and canopy.

The only tank i have is my 55g mbuna tank. It holds:
Cobalt blue cichlid x4
yellow acei x4
yellow lab x4
cobue afra x4
And a jack demppsey living behind a divider for the new tank.

There are lots of caves and hiding spot for them but idk if they will survive
I need your help guys quick cuz he called me today that he will be bring them today.

P.S he can't return him to the lfs where he bought cuz of not refunds or trade in policies.(Jerks).

Do you think the loaches will be ok with the mbuna for 2 months or so until i get the new tank ready?

JMO, but I don't think it would be a good idea. Much better to keep them in a large plastic bin or bucket. With filtration and air of course.
