I have a 72g bachelor pad in process. The ones I have right now are little 1-1.5 inches ..babys I guess. a rusty, an albino zebra(Greshakei), a mean little demasoni, and an acei. I want to overstock the tank but I am stumped at what to put in there. I want a colorful tank and cool personality traits...the more weird the better ;-). I've had the demasoni and the acei for a couple months at least I think and recently got the other two. by far this is my fav tank so please help me figure out what else to put in there. and how many at a time should I be adding? Also I want at least one super exotic show piece fish. Help! I am new to the cichlids(somewhat) but a super quick study and not afraid to tke risks.
I want to get some more this weekend when I have time so the sooner the suggestion the better...and share your experiences with those fish if you can. Don't forget unles your somewhat sure that it'll work with Mbunas I don't think I'll try it.

I don't know anything about african cichlids. Perhaps you could get more of the species you have to start. If I recall correctly, you should have room to put like 20 fish in the tank. but don't quote me on that.

20 would be awesome!!
African Cichlids boiled down for you.... They're mean little @$$es but pretty :lol:

I could with a couple of them but they don't like anyone who looks anything like them :roll:
