LexyBoi Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 What is your dream mbuna tank? Simple question but it must work together! (No bloodbaths, my friend just got a 160 litre tank so he was going to look into a stocking list for it with mbuna, so not too pricey or hard to find but something that will stand out ill tell you guys which one he chooses then get some photo's for u guys! Please tell me everything I am more of a aulonocara guy myself, so tell me everything!

Buccal Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 "mbuna" is African tongue for "Rock Dwelling Cichlid".The species "Aulonocara" are a extremely diverse locational specie and should only be considered as pure if shipped in from Germany or bought from someone reputable that's trustworthy in saying so.The pic you have posted is not a mbuna nor a Aulonocara,,,, It's a Red cap Lethrinops "redcapuz". Stunning fish.Lethrinops Albus is another stunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFishkeeper Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 With mbuna, I always like a good mix of colours and shapes so they look like a constantly moving kaleidoscope as they chase each other around and compete for territories Some suggestions are electric yellows (yellow & black), maingano (light/dark blue vertical striples), red zebras (orange), hongi (purple/orange), pindani/cobalt zebras (irridescent pale blue), Labidochromis chisumulae (white/purple), acei "Tanzania" (black/yellow), kingsizei (pale blue/white), saulosi (light blue/dark blue horizontal stripes, orange females).Cheers, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
