Any fish that interest you? Look around online and make a list of what appeals to you and we can go from there. Being a 4ft tank, I would stick to fish no bigger than 6-7".

If i go to Haps and Peacoks
Kadango
Cyrtocara Elektra
Aulonocara sp. (3 species)
Blue Ahli

What´s more ?

If i choose Mbuna:
Elongatus Mpanga
Cynotilapia Pulpican

How many species of Mbuna i can put in this tank ? Considerating 1M 2/3F

 

[markstrimaran]

I have 4 in my 75 gallon, with lots of habitat and line of sight breaks.

Certain varieties can be troublesome. Psudotrouphus elongatus are my worst, 1m/2f. The Male has his corner turf, that is always defended.

I would do 4-5 different species, 1m/4f each, unless you pick an above average aggression mbuna species like melanochromis or tropheops. I would also only do one species of peacock per tank, since the females mostly look the same and have a high risk of crossbreeding. Being a 4ft I would stick to smaller haps, 7" or smaller and avoid mixing haps and peacocks with most mbuna.

Ok, 6/7" haps and peacoks
