Is my tank overcrowded

[waytoodeep03]

I have about 11 juvie african cichlids in a 55 gallon. They all are about 1-1.5"

I was thinking about ordering a 125 for them.

What kind of africans?

Order the 125 and buy some more

If that's square inches, shouldn't a 55 be sufficient?

They'll get bigger

This is true.......I'm ready to get back to my project on Thursday. If all goes as scheduled, I should be ready for fish by Feb. 1 in the 210 Oceanic.

6 Mbuna, 4 Peacocks, 1 frontosa

I would get rid of the frontosa and expand on the peacock collection, peacocks will get picked on in an mbuna focused tank.

Depending on your filtration you are not overstocked in my opinion.

55 is good for now, but soon you will need to be upgrading
