Cant really recommend anything until we know this. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

fordrocks2009 Fingerling Posts: 15 Kudos: 12 Votes: 2 Registered: 11-Jun-2005	Well the tanks about 26 gallons. The fish are doing great and there are five of them in there. They are about 5 inches long right now and I plain on over stocking. With power heads and over the tank filters.

Maybe could hold 5 Yellow Labs (1M/4F), but no other fish(except a BN plec if you have algea probs). 55 would be ok for more Mbuna and a school of Barbs. 26G's is too small for 5 5" cihlids. BTW what are the dimensions of that 26G? And exactly WHAT filtration are you running?

Did you get those fish and grow them from juv. size or did you aquire them at that size of 5"? Last edited by openwater at 21-Jun-2005 23:07

fordrocks2009 Fingerling Posts: 15 Kudos: 12 Votes: 2 Registered: 11-Jun-2005	Well my lfs told me that a 26 would work but there are alot of opinions to think about. My filtration is pretty good. With 2 660 power heads and a over a tank whisper bio filter.

Just with the fish I already have in there. Last edited by fordrocks2009 at 27-Jun-2005 00:05 Last edited by fordrocks2009 at 06-Jul-2005 22:15
