Nice tank! I'm starting with African fish, how many do you think can introduce in 450 lts (1.50x50x50cm). Thanks

[@CichlidLove]

Hi thanks. How many fish will depend on your filtration and also how much rocks you can have in your tank. The idea is to have enough fish just to curb aggression. More rocks will give the fish more hiding places so allowing you to add more fish. Another consideration is the water change routine.

We call it overstock for a reason

[@CichlidLove]

Thank you. I hope it works out in the long run.

Clear water and no aggression! What size is this tank? And to think ppl say african cichlids and south american cant go together!

[@CichlidLove]

Tank dimensions 380litres. Approx 100gal 183x45x45cm. 72x18x18inch It can be done. The Africans and Americans can live together in harmony.😊

@@yeayea2499 75gallon I had the Oscar's from baby about 3in with 2 african cichlids they grew up together and kept reproducing for over 2 years

[@CichlidLove]

Awesome story. They’re reproducing machines! Mine are always reproducing. You can see fingerlings and fry hiding in the rocks on one of my videos here: Fingerlings Spotted in Mbuna Fish Tank | Breeding Cichlids kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX6pp5x7m7Cgfrc

I have read many comments from my other videos that say that this tank is overstocked. Let me know what your thoughts are…any advice is welcome.

[@michaelplant-e7m]

Of course its over stocked a blind man could see that

[@CichlidLove]

To overstock or not to overstock? How much is too many?

[@snstx7872]

Just a bit over stocked 😂 I'd take the 2 Oscar's out and about 10 to 12 African's and that would be well stocked imo but at the end of the day its your tank do whatever you like at least the water looks clean

[@CichlidLove]

At the moment I have 3 Oscars, two smaller, Tiger and Red Oscar’s and the bigger Red Chilli. I am looking into another tank because my Africans have been breeding a lot too adding to the population. Thank you for your advice.
