75 Mbuna and maybe Tropheus

[cichlids4me]

Got my 75 switched over for my Africans.
So far all I have is 5 Pseudo. Crabro and a common pleco.

I am considering either more Mbuna or some Tropheus to add.

Any suggestions/comments?

have you done cichlids before? because tropheus are the hardest to take care of...

I have been keeping africans for about 7 years

I have also kept Mbuna and Tropheus together before.
The tank pictured was my 94 before my son decided he wanted to feed my fish while I was at work. It consisted of about 15 Mbuna and 5 Tropheus duboisi. The Pseudo crabro in my current 75 are actually from one of my spawnings from the 94.

well i would just keep them seperate but either will look good.

agreed! if you can separate the two, id do it! why not just do one or the other! i say go for a tropheus tank if your experience allows you to!

I had 3 Firecracker troph's in a community tank. as long as you keep up on it and keep it good shape they are groovy. and Oh So awesome to keep! good luck
