How big are your other fishes? Are they predators? That will give us an idea of what you can keep. I'd say Upper Jaws are more active than Lower Jaws in my opinion but most don't get very large and could easily be bullied/eaten.

Normal senegals are as active bro but SB albino senegals is a personal preference over normal ones. They will look more "chubby" especially when you pump them up, you can see small "durians" swimming around in your tank.

Its all up to your own preference since you will be the one looking at them.
