Update: I changed my mind 😂 This is my current stock list for the 125 gallon.
1. Met Elongatus Chailosi (5 Total)
2. Cyno "Lion" Mara Rocks (5 Total)
3. Met Zebra Manda (2m/4f)
4. Met Greshakei Albino (1m/4f)
5. Rusty (1m/4f)
Dragon's Blood Peacock (1m)(I think he needs a few girlfriends.)
Catfish (2)
6. And possibly Met Membe Deep (might just keep them in the species tank they're in)
Considering a few Christmas Fulu but took all the other peacocks/Haps off the wish list. I think I have too many species of Mbuna to push it further. I don't want to be understocked or overstocked. Most of my fish will top out at 3 1/2 and 4 inches. However, I think I want to stay around 35 fish total.
Edit: I think "new tank-idis" has gotten the better of me. I'm going to rehome the Rustys to keep the number of Mbunas SPECIES down. A 6' tank would most likely fair better with 4 or 5 Mbuna species, not 6 or 7! I'm keeping only 1 male in most species with plenty of females in each species; I just feel that there is a fine line between "it's working" and "oh crap, what did I do?!". The kids and me name ALL of our fish and we just get too attached. The less chance of a disaster the better.
