I don't know how successful that tank will continue to be. I would actually be surprised if you haven't already had some problems with aggression. I know it's not what you asked but I think you will find that keeping africans seperate from american cichlids will be more rewarding in fish behavior and color. Your set up could be working great though. I suppose it's not unheard of more likely just not widely accepted.
