Hi
I am not sure if this is the correct session to post but since my tank is an all male Haps tank, I will try post here.

I have an all make 125 7” tank with the following fishes in it.

Red Empress - 3 inch
Albino Dragonblood - 3 inch
Albino Taiwan Reef - 2.5 inch
Fusco Hap - 3 inch
Protomelas Spilonotus Mara Rock -5 inch
Iceberg Fryer
Blue Dolphin Morii - 4.5 inch
Aristochromis Christyi - 4.5 inch
Lethrinops Intermedius - 4.25 inch
Malawi Gar - 5.5 inch
Mylochromis Lateristriga - 5.5 inch
Placidochromis Milomo VC10 - 5 inch
Placidochromis Electra - 6 inch
Placidochromis Tarzanian Star Sapphire - 4 inch
copadichromis Azureus - 4 inch
Redfin Borleyi - 6 inch
Large BN Pleco

I also have a 100 with all male Peacocks and a 75 with MBunas.

I recently just inherited a 55 with fishes in it and I was wondering if any of them can go into any of my tanks.

The fishes in it are
Tiger Barb - 2.5 inch with one eye missing
3 Cory catfish - 2 inch
Gourami - 3 inch
Stripe Raphael catfish - 2 inch
Spotted Raphael Catfish - 3 - 3.5 inch
Albino Bichir - 5 inch
Tire Track Eel - 6-7 inch

i know some of these probably too big for the 55, so wanted to see if some of them can be incorporate into my existing tanks.


Thanks

Welcome aboard
I personally wouldn't put anything from the 55 gallon in with the Haps.

I almost suggested putting the Raphael in with the Peacocks until the word Mbuna came up as I was reading. I think the Synodontis Catfish is the only specie that can hold it's own with Mbuna imo.

The MBuna has its own tank separate from the Peacock. Would the Raphael be ok in the Peacock tank?

Thanks

Thanks for the input, I know 55 is too small for them long term. If I would to keep them long term, what would be the require tank size?
