Just ordered $460 worth of Mbuna Cichlids. cannot WAIT until they arrive Saturday. Pics for sure! I'm so excited. They're going into a 125gal that I set up for my dad's office. Plenty of holey rock and places to hide. I stuck to a 1/4 male/female ratio. This is my first Malawi tank. Once again, pics on Saturday! :fish2:
 
I got 53 total. These are the kinds I got:

Yellow Fin Mbamba
White Top Afra
Auratus
Bumble Bee
Cobalt Blue Zebra
Electric Yellow
Purple Lupingu
Snow White
Red zebra
 
here they are:
I think my favorite is the male White top Afra

Looks great! Keep an eye on your water parameters you'll have some spikes adding that many fish at one time. If you don't mind me asking where did you get the fish from?
 
I know nothing about Cichlids and was just curious.......


Since they are aggressive, they all have to be added at the same time, right? Does this apply to all families of Cichlids?

Thanks!
 
Yes, I added them all at the same time to prevent aggression, they're also all juveniles. I ordered them from Livefishdirect.com. :)
 
Your tank is awesome! I love the rock and the sand. Where did you purchase the rock and sand from? Must have been pretty exciting to have no fish then suddenly a full tank! How much fun :)
