I have a new set up, a 260L (70 us gallon) bow front. Coral sand, lots of caves in amongst slate and rock. Filtered by a Fluval 305 and a U4.

So far stocking list as follows:

6 Yellow labs
6 Pseudo. Elongatus Ilkoma
5 Pseudo. Elongatus Mpanga
5 Red/Red Zebra

All fish are below 1.5" currently, so sexes unknown. And before I get a kicking on hybridisation, absolutely zero chance of me letting any suspect fry leave my house. Im hot on it!

Need some sane, experienced advice - could I fit any more in? I have my eyes on some Crabo...but want a healthy tank, with some natural action going on.

All thoughts appreciated...! :)

Long term you look full, but what is the footprint of the tank

I guess long term is all I need to know really! Foot print is 4' x 12" going to 20" at widest point of bow front I think.

tank is looking good, but there were so many fish I wanted at that d*mn fish shop this morning.....! :naughty:
 
Looks good. Stay away from crabro. A single male in a community should be in a 75 minimum and more than one should be in a six footer. They are the one of the biggest and angriest mbuna out there and are good at ruining a good time.
