mbuna ?s

[cdfishie123]

as most of you know im changing my 100 gallon to a mbuna tank. in the tank i have 1 1/2 inches gravel is this too much?

and also would it be okay if i had a few jewel cichlids and kribs into the tank with my mbunas.

my plan right now is to have about 20 mbunas, 6 peacocks, and maybe 4 jewel cichlids, and maybe 4 kribs. is this too much?

I wouldn't keep west africans with mbunas.

 

[jpappy789]

I agree...just mbunas

I have a 55 gallon with three mbunas and 3 peacocks all male and I havnt had any problems with that mixture at all

from what i've learned mbunas and peacocks can be together if there's enough space and hiding places and they're carefully observed, but most of the time it's best to keep mbuna to themselves.

I wouldn't keep west africans with mbunas.

Definitely agree with that!

Why not skip the mbunas and go with some haps instead?

 

[cdfishie123]

okay so no peacocks but what about the jewels?

 

[jm1212]

the mbunas may get to pushy with them.

 

[Ruben Tolon]

why not do a peacock and hap tank and forget the mbunas.
