I've had my tire track for 4 years in a 270L/71G tank with a bala shark and bristlenose catfish. Just last week i bought 4 african cichlids for the tank without knowing what they really were. After doing some research about them i thought everything was going to go bad but all my fish seem to be sweet except my smaller electric getting picked on by the other bigger electric yellow. But yea, after i got my new fish i decided it was time to redo my tank and bought a whole new filter system, light, decorations and everything. Fully rearranged the tank and it looks better than ever. Best thing is the cichlids leave my other fish alone lol.

Eels have the benefit of being able to go under your substrate, so if things start to get a little hairy for them they hide.

Be careful about what you feed. If your mbuna are anything like mine they are getting some of the food intended for the eel. Just trying to prevent bloat.
