So I just stocked my tank with about 30 juvi mbuna all about 1.5" to 2" long. Along with my order I ordered 4 synodontis lace catfish also 1.5 to 2" long. However, the order came in and only has 2 cats, and they are approximately 5" long. Would it be safe to put them in there or will they pick at my mbuna?

Should be fine. How long is your tank?

 

[dethnode]

standard 75 gallon, 4ft long

I expect to have to filter some fish out, aiming for a final populaiton of 26 in a 75 gallon, still crowded, but gotta cut down the aggression right?

20 is a good final number of mbuna to manage aggression. Four species depending on which exact species you stock.

Curious to hear which speices you decided to stock. I'll be choose stock for a new 75g in a week or so, hopefully.
