Is this stocking suitable

Have a 125 ltr tank, lots of slate and caves. Was thinking of adding these, looking for opinions.

Already have 2 Lamprologus meleagris, thinking of adding:
- 1 cylindricus
- 1 calvus
- 2 fairy cichlids

Would this be too much for the tank?

Considering the tank size, I think the fairy cichlids might become dominant if they start breeding, their territorial nature could become an issue. I'm no expert on tanganyikans, but to me, this setup seems better suited for a pair of brichardi or perhaps some shell dwellers; they tend to be less demanding of space.
