30 gallon mbuna

[blackghostknife]

hello, I am going to set up a new30 gallon and want mbuna. I was thinking like 5 yellow labs and 3 auratus. would this work?

What are the dimensions?
Auratus will definitely not work, they are extremely aggressive. Depending on the dimensions, labs would work nicely.

no auratus in that tank. the labs will be dead. they're nasty little guys imo

I am enjoying my new colony of Saulosi. They are a dwarf mbuna so they would work great in a 30 gallon. Females bright yellow and males are blue with black bars. They are very outgoing hardly ever hiding in the rock. They are a bit hard to find though so you might have to look around a bit

coral red saulosi are awesome too all orange but boys have a navy blue face look amazing.

what about labs and some julies

 

[golcondorus]

I'm no Expert here but I don't think mixing malawis and tangs is recommended usually

I would not mix those two. For one, julies are very aggressive. Also, they both have the same territory, rocks.
