When I started my 75 gallon I was like most people. Oblivious of what I was buying so now doing more research I realized I have mbuna, haps and peacocks and wanna know what's the minimum tank size to keep em all happy

yeah depends on what mbunas etc but ideally 120gallon+ when they are fully grown but ideally bigger the better.

You can have gaps in a 20 gallon long and keep a breeding group of 5 electric yellow mbuna in there to live in the gaps.

I'd suggest a 36" tank. Those gaps can be quite aggressive.

Venustus get large I had a male that was 14 inch easy he was a monster and I also had a VC 10 at 12.5 inch I took them in as an adoption from a lfs and when they swam threw my 180 gallon it made the tank look tiny with all the other Africans in the tank I wouldn't put them in a 75 gallon I'd stay with mbuna
