bsmith · 06-04-2005, 07:03 PM

1. so are the corys are ok? or not? i really like them a lot and they will probably be going with yellow labs and yellow top mbamba's.

2. also how many of these cichlids can i put together in a 40gallon tank ?

3. how large will both of these breeds get in length?

4. whats another addition i can get that i like a kuhli, that will go well with cichlids and corys ?

if i can get these answered i promose ill stop asking so many questions !

anyone got any help for me?

shesh dont be so impatient haha. i would say maybe 3 yellow labs and maybe 2 yellow tops. your going to want someone more experienced to voice their opinion on that one though before you go making any final descisions. research the fish on the net and youll know how big they get. they all should get around 4-5 inches in size.

haha sorry i know im impatient, i looked around and sites say they dont get over 4". but im sure they might get to about 5". i just have no idea how many cichlids can go in a 40gallon tank, people say that overcrowding cichlids is better than not having enough, so im askin the pros !

exactly! u want it to be slightly overstocked the inch pergallon rule blows and i do not follow it as many cichlid keepers do not either. I do not know much about peacock eels, i have seen them, cool how they dive into substrate likes it's water...i would think it would treat them like ghost shrimp, attackin them in the sand...but not sure

Mbunas and Corys? Mbunas and Loaches?

These fish can't go together. Well, they might get along until they died, but one group or the other is gonna be mighty unhappy. Mbuna water is very, very different from the asian and south american waters of the loaches and cories. VERY different.

ok so i cant put these two together, i guess thats my unfortunate consensus. but how many of these will i be able to fit, you all say i should overstock it, but how many does that mean! 40gallon is what im workin with.. the fish shouldnt get over4-5" yellow labs and yellow top mbamba's. thanks!
