My 55g mbuna tank

I have a 55g with 30 Malawi and they have been great for the last year but ive also taken other measures like a rena xp3 that is made for a 175g and lots of rocks

I think that you will be fine with that stock.....i have 30 fish in my 55g and they do great with these kind of cichlids you want to overstock a little to cut down on aggression

Yes those are in it already except the ones im going to add of course

I added crushed corral

Its got 13 electric yellow labs 5 bumblebees 5 red zebras 5 cobalts 3 electric blue johannas 2 cat fish i forget there names but they are brown with black dots Will be adding 5 kenyi That's all i can think of for stocking

Just did a new 125g whats everyone think...its still a little cloudy

Welcome im from newark

I agree u shouldnt start a african tank smaller than a 55g or ull have a lot of issues...over stocking is good for cutting down on aggression but urs is way over ur going to have problems

Yeah those guys aren't cheap Thx for the response

Nope it has a full closed top on it....im thinking that he died and was eaten that's my only guess

So ive been looking for my other duboisi and cant ahhhh...tested my water cause i cant find anything and my parameters are ok so im guessing he didnt die....any suggestions

My parameters are always great and i have a rena xp3 rated for 175g on a 55 with an air stone they just seem like they are better colored and active after a water change

Ok cause ill just be sitting there and be like i know i did a pwc yesterday but the fish dont look as colorful so ill do another to brighten them up lol...im doing about 4 pwc a week right now at about 40% they seem to like it

Is it bad that i do random water changes to just get my fish to brighten up...meaning am i stressing them from it

See i built a long wand for my out take cause the original wand was small and the jets were to powerful for when it was a planted tank now water doesnt seem to come out that fast

I just was wondering if i should use it...i know some fish like fast moving water and some dont

Towards the bottom

I dont see waste but theres 25 fish in there

No im tracking....it is a normal 55g and my filter is a rena xp3 rated for 175g....the inlet is in the back left but i have a lot of rock in the tank...should it go towards the bottom or top of the tank here is a pic

Awesome and where should i put it in the tank

Start with one that is rated for a 55g

Its a 55g

Do cichlids like calm water or should i get a power head and up the current a little
