How many cichlids in 65 gallon

[Nogauthi]

How many cichlids can I keep in my 65 gallon. I know I'm over at 17 but if I do 2-25% wc a week will it be ok?

You should be fine. For a 65 gallon, 17 is good number for africans.

+1. I generally target 15-18 mbuna for a 55, dependin' on adult size and aggression level of the species. Yer right in there, as long as ya don't have any hyperagressive or really large species.
