how many african cichlids in an 125 gallon

[MRfishee]

Hey Gang.

I'am new around here but ive kept fish's as an hobbie for many years
( ex south american cichlid keeper ) moved on to smaller-ish and nicer
things anyways carrying on. I currently have 9 africans in my 125 gallon
running a rena xp4 and xp2 ( Maybe too much filtration.. but the more the merrier i hear ). Anyways how many could i REALISTICALLY put in the 125 without stressing.. out the whole tank.


Thanks in advance your feedback is much appreciated.

What type of african cichlids are you putting in it? This will decide a lot.

i have 2 sunshines, taiwan reef, electric blue, acei, red empress,2 ob peacock, eureka red, mainly peacocks aside from the acei i guess. they're all like 1-2 inches right now gonna grow them all up together at the moment im also on the hunt for Ruby reds, sunburst and bi colour's and the flametail peacock everyone needs a flametail in their tanks for sure. so its mainly gonna be a peacock/hap kinda tank.
