Hi guys,

As some of you know, I just finished cycling my tank (it took 8 days to fishless cycle with no seeding) and now I'm at the fun part, that is choosing the fish. I would prefer colorful fish that grow larger than 9", with that said my options are heading towards an All Male Malawi Hapchlormis tank. I want to get them as juveniles, but how many can I have if let's say the average adult size is 12"? I have a 120 gallon tank. About 6?

6ft long tank? I would go with around 10 large Haps, just to spread aggression, assuming a 6ft long tank. There aren't many who get to 12".. let alone above.

Hi,

The tank's measurements are actually 60" (L) x 18" (W) x 26" (H), so it's a 5 Ft. long.

60" tank... I might suggest you rethink stocking large 12" haps... and go with something else.

Maybe 10" inch max?

 

[Fogelhund]

Maximum 8"

Cool, thanks!
