how many cichlids???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What kind of cichlids?
 
Depends on what kind of cichlids you're looking to keep. Large? Small? Med? African? New World? We need more details.
 
Depends on what kind a cichlid you want. A RD or a medium sized to large aggressive cichlid probably 1. Some thing smaller less aggressive maybe 2 or 3, even smaller lots.

Problems:

Wayyyyyy over stocked. You will definitely lose the zebras and the 2 kenyi to the front or the peacocks. Both the front and the peacocks will get much larger than the zebras and 2 kenyi. Plecos-I assume common or gibby-get close to 1 1/2 feet. Fronts like colonies-and you only have one.

I would take the front, the 2 peacocks, the artus, and all 3 plecos back.

I would keep the 2 lace cats, the 3 zebras and the 2 kenyi. You need to buy atleast 2 more kenyi to cut down on their aggression on eachother.

BUMP. you need more advice

What are you talking about?

The Front will need a much larger tank and needs to go.

The peacocks will NOT get larger than the mbuna. They are not suggested to be kept together due to the mbuna being too aggressive, but sometimes it is okay.

He is not WAY overstocked. I suggest you take the Front and the Peacocks back and get 8-10 more mbuna.
 
right now all my fish get along well they arent very small neither about 3 to 3 1/2 inch biggest one about 5 inches..my lace cat are the biggest in the tank
