hi
what were you thinking of adding ?

MrBishop

Parrots or some Discus. maybe some angles.

willow

hi
oh ok.........well no would be the answer to that one then.
the mabuna would make short work of those IMO.
best to keep them species only.

anyone else like to add to this ?

MrBishop

ok thanks, what does mbuna mean? thanks

MrBishop

Also. can i mix them with tanganyika?

mollies

Ok mbuna malawi's and tanganyikas are all african cichlids. I wouldnt recomend adding other kinds of fish with african cichlids. All tho i have seen it done. Now with that said. what did you have in mind on a stoking list? and how big is your tank.

MrBishop

any types of colourfull fish. its a 65 gal

Hey just looked at your tank under your aquariums. An read your signature. If i were you i would only add like Maybe 3 to 4 more cichlds. The ones you have now will get to 4 to 5 inchs. minus the Maingano they will get 3 to 3.5 inchs. The acei's could get 6 inchs.

Kennyi's are pretty. Elongatus Likoma. There are all shorts of them you will have to read and research the web. We will answer any questions you have. Livefishdirect.com will give you some info on the fish there.
