oh, and more rocks/hiding places! ok guys and gals, I have a yellow lab already and have heard acei is another peaceful choice of mbuna, please list some others? thanks, They are starting to get nasty again, little stinkers, even the yellow lab just nipped him, arghh, heading to the lfs soon =)

Red zebras, cobalt blue zebras, afra cobue, hongi mbuna, and Kenyi (peaceful IME) and white labs as well.

Kenyi will end up NOT peaceful as they grow. They and auratus are bad news from my experience. Just about all other mbuna will be ok with exceptions. Rustys are good choice so are maingano(electric blue Johanni in most stores) all the labidochromis are good. Just have to find them. Yellow labs are easy to find but perlmutt, chisumulae and exasperatus are nice and calm. And acei are AWESOME!

I hear ya and hopefully they stay that way. There's good and bad of everything. I'm sure there's someone out there with a clown loach that's a terror! Lol. All it shows is that these as my wife would call em "dumb fish"!really do have personalities! That's why I love em all!

True, true.. I tried to get all 20 of my fish for my 75g at the same time and scape it so they can grow up all together and have their own territories in the tank, etc so far so good, no fights, no fin nips (knocks on wood)
