[@thelifeaquaticwithrobbull2930]

G'day from Australia mate, saw your post on the fishtubers notification page. Can't believe I haven't got you subbed already, as I do Africans as well, although a little differently. Great upload mate 👍👍

For a 55g I would stick with the smaller mbuna like the rusty's, saulosi etc, they still have all the colour and energy of the bigger mbuna but in a smaller package!

I'm planning to stock my 55gallon I love your content thank you for all of your time and effort great stuff here in this channel! Stocking ideas or suggestions for my new 55 gallon set up? I definitely want some yellow tail acei, some yellow labs. I just dont know what else to get. I also want some catfish 🙃 And recommendations on stocking?

[@CichlidBros]

Casey Lee thank you! Happy to help. Those are good options, and to go with it, you could do some red zebras or Tropheus duboisi. Mainganos could work as well 👍🏻

I have an aggressive bumblee as well. Want to add fish. What's the best type to add and how many? I have pleco, looking to add Cichlid ..added one peacock & bumblebee bullied it to death on hours! What can I add safely? I added hiding rocks, understand about lighting, tank size etc. Please help! I was thinking shark if not Cichlid, but unsure.

[@brugmansiamakete8700]

I would add careful management of water quality. I have found they are much more aggressive if the quality dips or if there is not enough surface oxygenation.

[@cosmicshy637]

Can different mbunas get along if they have the same aggression level or do they need to be from the same origins geographically to have a better chance of getting along? I find so many varieties beautiful but wonder if they can co exist if they're at the same aggression levels & if they come from different water sources from Africa? .. namely mild/moderately aggressive types. Hopefully I'm making sense. 🙏

I just returned a Demasoni. He was cool with my 2 other cichlids and would protect one from the other. I added more fish and he swam with them in a pack. Out of no where he switched up and had the whole tank in one corner. He would literally be hunting through and between all of the rocks in my 75 gallon tank. Boy lost his marbles man!!!!

[@CichlidBros]

Demasoni can be insane 😳

[@tejveersingh124]

My mbuna fish has nipped my dollarfish please help

[@rafatorres1420rt]

If is not too late for anybody, don't get a bumble bee, those little bastards are mean as hell and they will fight till death if they don't like a fish that usually is more colorful.

My plan in place is always the toilet . Fk em and flush em …. Does the sun shine on lake Malawi for less than 8 hours a day? I don’t think so.
