Since suggestions for my office tank came so quickly I thought I'd post here for my personal home tank.
Standard 125 gallon tank, filtered by an FX6 and FX5.
I was thinking an all male Hap tank but then started looking at mix Malawi tanks on youtube and they were just beautiful. So from that I do have several questions.
- Is this type of thing generally successful? I know all tanks and combinations of stock should be observed and sometimes the off mix does work with some, but in a lot of other cases it's disastrous, was curious where this fell on the spectrum
- For this type of tank, is everything all Males or just the haps?
- Stock wise for mbuna vs haps, is there any specific type I should stay away from that get too large or too aggressive?
- General tips on things to look for in regards to stock?
- Stocking numbers? I know for africans it's best to overstock, I learned my lesson with Tropheus that you can't halfway this
