I have a 55 gallon open right now along with a 30 gallon. In the 30 gallon growout i have a yellow lab and some other mixed africans but I'm looking to see if i can identify them to make sure they aren't hybrids. The other fish i can identify is a bumblebee cichlid. What else could i add to the 30 and then to the 55. Forgot that i have then 150 for the future setup. All fish are about and inch or so. I'm keeping ph between 7.5 and 8.
SWITCHED TO AFRICANS AND NEED SOME IDEAS
- Thread starter AQUAMONSTER
- Start date
30 - Shellies
55 - Mbuna, Vics, or Small Tangs ( except Bumblebee Mbuna gets a robust 8"+) and a Peacock
150 - anything

I pesonally have not had problems housing a red zebra with most other mbuna. As for the kenyi and bumblebee I have found them to be more on the aggressive side and wouldnt mix them with less agressive mbuna (such as yellow labs). I am sure others can chime in on this with their experience and opinions.
I thank u for the input. I like the bumblebee bc it has that jag cichlid look. I will post pics tomar to show you what i have right now. Is there anything i could do to counter the possible aggression of the bumblebee like another aggressive fish. What other large cichlids could i keep in my stock
