smidey Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 what filtration you running? that will be the determining factor with in reason i think. The great thing about the sunsuns i think is that they have gaps for adding canister piping at the back of the hood, aquaone cf canister plumbing goes through it very well so add a cf1000 or cf1200 and you'll have heaps of filtration potential. I have had huge numbers of africans in one of those, up to 40 i think of various sizes. I had fryeri, yellows, red zebs, lump heads, peacocks and cobalt blues together and it worked no trouble. i suggest you just add fish as you get them, not too many at a time so the filtration ability can build up. It will really just come down to what fish are compadible with what. You'll get opinions and experiences that contradict each other most times so often it will come down to the specific temperament of an individual fish whether it works or not. It can be hit and miss with malawi species. here's a pic of my old tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'd be looking to get more of the species you already have as well, often the more fish you have the less aggression and injuries you'll have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
