After an enforced sabbatical from fish, I plan to soon return to it and my plan is to go back to the type of tank that brought me the most joy over my time in the hobby - a Mbuna setup!
I have been out of this for over 3 years now though and it's amazing how much you forget regarding species names, behaviour etc. It's slowly coming back though.
Of course, I've looked at the cookie cutters and plenty of other posts. I just thought however that some of you would like to give me some influence, perhaps what you would do in my position. I will most likely be sourcing a tank circa 65-75 US gallons (I'm actually in the UK). Standard size and type tank for that volume.
As for what I want from Mbuna, similar to my last tank in the effect - activity, varied colour and interest!
Yellow Labs are almost certain to go in there because they look great I think. But from there I'm open to suggestions. Of course I have ideas but I'd welcome suggestions other than the cookie cutters.
I have always fancied Demasoni, I understand the issues that can follow those little terrors but would certainly welcome those suggestions.
I have no interest in breeding, an all male tank if controllable would be fine with me.
Come on, give me your ideas, species and numbers? Abut in offered will certainly be appreciated.
