Stocking Help

[Nottoday]

I current have 55 Gallon tank fishless cycling with 1 350 Penguin Aquarium Power Filter. I am wanting to make it a Afican Cichlid Lake Malawi Mbuna tank.

I'm am trying to stock with a lot of color but don't want to much trouble with aggression if it can be avoided(I know not entirely obviously). About how many fish can I have and how should I stock them?

Current fish I'm wishing to put in:

Labidochromis caeruleus (yellow labs)

Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos (electric blue johannis)

Pseudotropheus acei (yellow tail aceis)

Any Help that can be given would be appreciated please make suggestions of other fish I could have as well!

I would say go with 10-14

The electric yellow and the Aceis would do great! But I think the Johannis would be too agressive! You cod also try rusties, I heard they are less agressive

Acei's need more room than a 55 will allow due to their need for swim space.
