Lake Malawi Species • Overstocking thoughts

Just curious on you thoughts of over stocking a 120gal with fx6, frequent water changes and oversized air pump

What are the dimensions? There is a level of overstocking that helps manage aggression, and then there is putting so many fish in the tank that they can't turn around without crossing the path of others.

60"x18"x26"h might only be a 100gal

It really depends on what species/types of fishes you are keeping. Sometimes it's needed, sometimes it's a detriment. Which fishes do you plan on keeping?

Peacocks mostly, plecos and clowns. Probably a catfish too

So Peacocks. Are you keeping a breeding group, or mixed males? Any stocking list you are thinking of?

Well, in hindsight i should have done a little more research but, i do have a few other tanks that i can set up.
I have 6 mbuna. 2 sunrise, 2 albino, 1 red peacocks. 3 clown loaches, a red tail shark and a spotted catfish
I would probably like all male peacocks but 2 are f
