Hello there,
I have set up said tank about 6 weeks ago for some rescues and my own fish.
So far the stocking is:
4x Labidochrimis Hongi "Red Top"
4x Pseudotropheus Demasoni
4x Pseudotropheus elongatus mpanga (not 100% sure about this one. There are so many species looking like them, could be a Labidochromis sp. "mbamba")
1x Labidochromis caeruleus White
4x Labidochromis caeruleus Yellow
1x Pseudotropheus zebra (not 100% positive about that one its one of the rescues, could be a Pseudotropheus kingsizei)
4x Labeotropheus fuelleborni "Chimwalani Reef" (not 100% sure on those as well mine are orange with brown spots)
3x Chisumulae mbweca thumbi
4x Labidochromis sp. "nacre"
4x Iodotropheus sprengerae
2x Pseudotropheus sp. "acei"
4x greyish ones with black fins and black stripes I cant identify (2 of them are fry I dont know if they are related)
3x very light pink ones (sometimes shimmering blue) with light yellow fins and stripes
2x light brown fry with darker brown stripes I cant identify (and some smaller fry but I don't know if they will survive or not so I don't count them in yet)
I am not that long into keeping Mbunas (about 11 months now) but I think my aggression levels are too high. Some of the fish are really dark in coloration and there are torn fins here and there.
Do I have enough Mbuna or do I need more?
If I need more could I get bigger races in there to break up aggression or should I only add more Mbunas?
Cheers and thanks for the help in advance!
