Established 150 gallon with only 7 Mbunas.....advice on adding please
I've had my tank for a year. It's a 150 gallon with a diy trickle filter. Water quality is consistently good and I feed them New Life Spectrum once daily but usually skip a day every once in awhile. I started with 14 Mbunas (yellow labs, aceis, rustys, and red zebras) and two bristlenose plecos. They all got along great for about 8 or 9 months. One jumped out of the tank while we were away and the others were murdered. Now I'm down to one bristlenose and only 7 Mbunas (2 yellow labs, 3 Acei, 1 Red Zebra, and 1 Rusty) My tank looks empty and I need to add more fish. My fish haven't gotten as big as I expected, but they are bigger than the fish at the pet store. Any tips on what to add? I'm hoping if I add enough, it will cut down on aggression.
