My buddy owns a mom and pop fish store one town over from me. I did some electrical work around the place and we called it even.

That's what I used as well. I wish I had picked something else. Some of the grains are magnetic which is a pain when using my algae magnet.

Yea I found that out also. I'm just very careful and for closer to the sand I use my brush.

Other than that I think it is a great looking substrate. The fish move it around and it looks different every day.

Looks like a great start. Ya might want to add some more rocks and hiding places.

How many Malawi can fit in a 55gallon?

How many Malawi can fit in a 55gallon?

The key is to try and get a mix that will get along at being lightly/medium stocked.
12-15 lightly stocked
16-18 medium stocked
19-22 heavily stocked

I have about nine with 4 tiger barbs and 2 albino bristlenose. I'm planning on rehoming the barbs assuming I do I could fit maybe 4-5 more without issue?

Depends on what you put in and how you put them in, but you can do more. As long as you don't have ones that get over 6" now.

 

[BlaseMrNiceguy]

I have:

2 johanni
2 kenyi
1 yellow lab
1 albino red zebra
1 labidochromis textillis
1 pseudotropheous elongatus

I actually think that's it so only 8 in there but I know a couple get kinda big but aren't full grown yet I got them all pretty young so nobody is over 3.5-4 inches yet.

My 95 gallon. I will be a grandma in a few days, hence the net. She doesn't like it so much.
