Hello everyone, I need some help with ideas and stocking advice regarding my Malawi tank.
The tank is 59.1 inches wide, and 23.6 inches deep and high. Volume is 140 gallons.
The tank currently houses:
Pseudotropheus Saulosi 3M/7F
Pseudotropheus Maingano 3M/7F
Cyrtocara Morii 1M/2F
Hinderi Red Empress 1M/2F
And one very young (small) common pleco.
Now during the winterbreak I had planned to change the substrate to finer sand and during this I planned to rehome the Haps since I want to get more rocks into the tank for the Mbunas, never had any aggression problems with the current aquascape though. However most of the Saulosi/Maingano females just hover over the rockpiles, which is kinda' boring.
Or could I add more rocks and keep the haps? I'm concerned about their swimming space as they grow bigger. If I can keep all the fish currently in the tank do you think I could add Red Zebras (3M/7F) and not overcrowd the tank?
Any help/ideas are appreciated!
