Title: Mbuna Species Assignments When I get my 120G


Pseudospecialops - March 9, 2008 07:48 AM (GMT)
I'm finally going to order my 120G (PB had to get 5 more gallons... he's so competitive!).

My current thinking is that I'll start by getting the larger species in the 120G. Should I split up the Msobo and Hongi? First draft:

120G (6-foot): Ps. Msobo, Ps. Acei, Lab. Hongi, Syn. Eupterus

55G (4-foot): Lab. Mbamba, Yellow Labs

40G (26" x 18"): (No change) Ps. Demasoni (15), Yellow Labs (2), Albino Ps. Socolofi (3)

Any better ways to split them?

Suggested additional species I can add that will balance color, behavior and diet?

Thanks!

Don

I thought I would just bump this back up to the top so those who know about proper stocking can see it. (Sorry Pseudo, I'm not too good at it myself.)

Yeah sorry I can't help either Don. They way I've always stocked was by trial and error. That might not be the best way but let me tell you I had some really crazy mixtures and had no problems.
