30g Dwarf Mbuna????

[bbboys]

My questions are if it can be done and if it can what my total stock list should be. I know it will allready have 2 bushy nosed plecos because I allready have them. Share your thoughts please.

What are the dimensions of the tank?
First thing that comes to mind is a nice colony of demasoni

Its sorta like a cube 20x18x20 thats probably not such a good footprint but I think I could get pretty creative with stacking rocks...

 

[bbboys]

Ideas after dimmentions are mentioned????

Just seems so small... Salousi perhaps...

I would stick to demasoni or take a stab at saulosi like mike said

Sauloisi they are dwarf mbuna and have a nice blue for the dominant males and yellow for the females and every now and then the sub males.

Personally I wouldn't keep mbuna in that tank because of the dimensions. About the only mbuna I would consider is my Ps. sp. "Minutus Tanzania" Manda because of the overall total length at maturity (male: 3", females: 2-2.5").

You are better off going with a Tanganyika shelldweller setup - they will be more than active.

Thats a bad footprint.Ive done saulosi in a 30 long,not ideal but possible.
be a nice tank for a julie colony.

I dont realy want to do a Tang setup because I already have 3 of them and 2 of them have shellies so I would like to try malawi... haha more opinions are welcome
