New 55gal Mbuna Set Up

[dthoffsett]

IMHO I'd just stick with 4 species, while overcrowding is good for aggression, there is a fine line between overcrowding and overloading your tank/filter(s) capacity.

Since p.socolofi are blue, I'd drop the m.callainos. And yes, other than the labs and rusties, you'll want 1 only 1 male.

Will be fully stocking the tank over the weekend!

Got some more fish & the tank is looking lovely

So far have

4 Yellow Labs
4Pseudotropheous Elongatus
4 Red Zebras
4 Pseudotropheous Acei Yellow tai
