IS it possible that putting 15-18 times the volume of the aqaurium by running power head like in saltwater can help the most active Mbunas to be ok in a 4 foot tank???

What do you think about some Acei with cynotilapia axelrodi and merriaclima hongi? All with 1 male/4 female!

I love my Acei, I have them with labs, afra cobue, and rusty.

I know that Acei are better suited for 6 foot tanks as they like to zoom around, for lack of better words. Even taking them from a 140 g 5 foot tank to my 125 g 6 foot tank made a difference with them. Alot of it comes down to area for territories. No matter what you should have lots of filtration etc. But the larger footprint allows them to map out their own space and helps with aggression.
