If haps and peacocks should never be overstocked then why do I see beautiful male show tanks always overstocked?
Btw, MikeM u have a jag in a 55g, and a Midas in a 55g, and you're trying to tell me something about having 2 fronts in a 75? You're kidding right?
Whoa.
This tanks been active for 2 years, probably over 2 years. I've never had issues with aggression really aside from same species fish that were mainly tretacephalus and a couple calvus, even mixing malawi, victoria, and tanganyika. I've never had an ammonia/nitrite spike in the existence of the tank. It's filtered with Aquatop Canister filters. 25% every week, that's it. You can go months back to the last vid and see 0 fish loss, 0 problems, 0 disease. Matter of fact, here's a video from December 20th 2014 that shows the same identical fish population minus the female yellow lab I mentioned removing due to her not producing for me.
You can most DEFINITELY get away with haps and peacocks in a tank this size @ 4ft as long as you don't intend on keeping them in the tank into adulthood. And on that note, you can most DEFINITELY keep a few full grown haps and peacocks in a 75g for life with no problem, even mated pairs (as I have 3 seperate producing mated pairs in that tank with fry proof in the 25g videos). And also with multiple fronts, I've got a 3rd one in another tank also that will join them in the future. As a grow out, 75g will do u just great for haps/peacocks/tangs/mbuna. The 2 big male venustus, pheno, and front's are well on their way at around 5.5-6 inches a piece, most all the other fish at at least 3.5-4.5 inches. Which mainly all started as 2" fish minus a few I bought with a little more size later on in the tank.
You can try to say it doesn't work, but it's worked for me for years.
