Aficans upgrade and new stock (Heavy Pics) Labidochromis caeruleus fry progression

First topic message reminder :

Well I am shifting tanks again. my GF and I recently resigned our lease for another year and decided this was the last. Only because I need a fishroom !So I Rehomed that Monster of a fish Flowerhorn 10+" and am getting ready to move my mbuna to the 75. This leaves with an open 55 for a year . So I am looking to stock it with juvenile festae and green terrors. When we move next year our house warming gift is gonna be a another 6' tank or bigger . Well i am off to down stack rocks,swap sand filters and fish. Wish me luck!

55 mbuna

The new home
I will update progress

ok why would they fight? Is it because it is to close and area?

One of them is bound to be the dominate one in the three regardless of sex. Yes the space is open so there will be only one territory.

i tried sand for the mbuna tank and had to remove it ..it was nasty..have gravel now will love to set up river rocks like you have Flip but I'm afraid of the weight ratio ... how about some Honduras red points for the empty 55g i also have and empty 55g i placed two female acaras that had been beet up by the male almost lost both of them..besides theres only 3 plecos and 2 loaches and a rainbow shark in there looks pretty empty.

You have to use pool filter sand. Before you put the sand in line the bottom of the tank with eggcrate. Then put your rocks on the eggcrate and fill with poolfilter sand.
