Ok, so I f i n a l l y stocked my tank over the weekend. All levels looked good so I went for it.
Friday I bought 6 small Metriaclima greshakei Ice Blues from a local Petsmart and they all did great the first 24 hours and still are.
The next day a deal came my way I didn't want to pass up. A guy in the next town over wanted to change his tank from Malawi to Tanganyika so he sold me 19 mixed Mbunas all approximately 5 inches or so long. I've seen them in the LFS for as high as $22.00 each. This guy sold all of them to me for $145.00.
Now I'm thinking that 25 fish may be a lot for a 90g tank, but I'm running a Fluval FX5 as well as a Fluval 405 and I have a lot of rock areas at ther disposal.
I have been monitoring the water steadily since Saturday Morning and the level are all fine.
I understand I will most likely want to perform frequent water changes, but bottom line will 25 fish be ok in a 90g tank? There has been no real aggressive moves, just a short chase here and there.
Thanks!
Gary

to get full advice on compatability though you'd need to tell us exactly what's in the tank
