Hello,
a friend has given me a aquarium that he was tired of. It came with several fish. I've done some research and know that I want a all male Haps and Peacock tank, but the aquarium already came with some fish and I am in need of some help with they're identification. Nothing too specific. I just want to know are they Haps, Peacock or Mbuna. There is six Cichlids and one companion fish in total.

The tank is 85gl with a 340gph filter. I have a second filter on the way so the tank will be over filtered by the time I add more fish. I also plan to add plants.

I’d suggest keeping to Mbuna with your size tank. Haps and Peacocks generally need a 6 foot 125g or more tank.

Chester I am still leaning Haps because I read they're less aggressive, will stay in the open more and wont do as much damage to the plants. I will pay attention to the size I get tho. Do you recommend any smaller Haps verity?

Lets keep the stocking discussion on the other thread.
