@gee3770 This video is from 4 years ago. I estimate at that time I had about 32-36 fish in the tank. There are currently more fish (and rocks) in the tank now (I guess it's time for an updated video).

@1983DAZZY Not too many fish (about 30-35 in a 125gal) for a mbuna set up. Due to the aggressive nature of these african cichlids, larger group size decreases aggression while smaller group size increases aggression. Additionally, these fish can be found in even greater population densities in their native environment (Lake Malawi). Rift Lake tanks are stocked differently than tropical community tanks and such. Of course larger bioload means larger water changes. Now you know.

@Damarris100 African cichlids are best kept with other african cichlids, particularly with african cichlids of the same lake and same group. The cichlids in this video are various species of Lake Malawi mbuna's. However, due to varying aggressive natures and dietary requirements and other variables, not all african cichlids are compatible, even those from the same lake. I would recommend keeping them with cichlids from other regions in the world.
