My experience with the Africans is limited to the past four months. I will say the learning curve is very steep, and I can't thank the wonderful people here, and my local "mentor," enough. My Mrs. is beginning to think that I live on this website. The knowledge, tips, tricks etc... Here is endless so... Thank you again guys!
My goal for my African tank was to have species from all 3 lakes. I have achieved that goal. I have made many adjustments as it's come along everything from better filtration, to making my own food to cover all of their subsistence needs, to learning which plants I can put in for them to snack on and stay healthy. It's working great! although I do think I am a bit Mbuna heavy. No real aggression issues, with the exception of my pair of Red Finned Piebalds. And of those two, only a tiny piece of fin from each is missing.
Regardless of how you stock your tank. I think you will find yourself completely enamored by these guys! Best of luck to you!
