My old tank has a water damaged cabinet (due to a leaking canister caused by a split O ring) so I am planning on replacing it with a large solid oak sideboard. Now I could just put the old (100 cm long) tank onto the new cabinet, but that wouldn’t be much fun! The sturdy new sideboard is 160cm long, so it’s a great excuse to get a new tank that will fill the top of it nicely.
My plan is to get a 60x24x18” tank that holds around 80 gallons.
After that, I plan to move away from my current mbuna stocking and go onto Haps. My plan is to start with:
Placidochromis Milomo white lips (x10?)
Protomelas Taiwan reef (x4?)
Obviously looking for more females than males to ensure some harmony.
Any thoughts on that? Would those two fish types work together ok? Is that enough fish for a tank that size, or maybe room for more?
