 | Proper stock number start |
Mr. R Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 01-Jul-2004   | Sometime within the next couple of weeks I'm going to get a 75 gallon tank started. After I cycle it I'm going to stock it with mbuna cichlids. What is the minimum I should start with to try and prevent aggression and territory claiming? |

| acei Big Fish Posts: 316 Kudos: 291 Votes: 1 Registered: 18-Mar-2004 | fishless cycling would be the way to go if you can get all your fish at the same time. if that is not the direction you want to go with, get your tank cycled ( i like giant danios). and add the least aggressive fish from your list first. add the next aggressive and so on. you should really nail down what kind of fish youwnat beforehand. if you go with yellow labs, acei, & red zebras, you could fit 4-6 of each in that tank. make sure to leave some room for some catfish of some kind. i like dwarf petricola and bushynose pleco's. |

| Week End Big Fish Posts: 414 Kudos: 436 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-May-2004  | Is adding all the fish at once a good idea?  Mmm...I think you can still fo fishless cycle then add step by step is a better approach.... |
