Hey guys, just wondering what you guys would rather see for the last couple mbuna for my tank. Its a 48x18" 75 gallon tank with two AC110s for filtration. Here is my current stock...
-4 Yellow labs (1m/3f)
-4 Acei (Havent vented them so unsure, but no issues so far)
-2 Metraclima Greshaki (1m/1f)
-1 Rusty (male)
-1 Blueberry cobalt zebra (male)
-1 Snow white socolofi (male)
-1 Red tailed shark (male)
All are between 2-3.5" i beleive, aside from the little socolofi maybe more like 1.5". I havent seen much aggresion other than the odd chase and my Rusty being the dominant fish and chasing most of them. I have noticed a few torn top fins that i think are from the shark. The mbuna love to swim through his territories lol For stock i was thinking of getting 1m/3f of Saulosi to add a final stream of colour and keep it more on the peaceful side of mbuna. Previously i was trying to find males of the different kinds to add as much colour, but ended up unsure whether it would cause issues since i have groups of some and single males of the rest. I know it may be tough on the greshaki female being the only one, so i wouldnt mind finding another female if i can. But i ended up with 3 males so far so i havent had much luck with them lol Also i just rehomed my 5th yellow lab because i fealt he could be happier instead of being the absolute smallest in the tank and so peaceful, and i may consider getting a 5th one of similar size to the rest.
Thoughts?
