okay i have this 55 gal that i want to set up and i am going to put an african mix of cichlids in it. i was going to put my angels in the 55 gal with the severum but i think the severum would be much happier with the angels 1 being their will be more room for he or she to grow and 2 they like the lower ph. anyway to get back to my oringal question... so how many cichlids could i put in my 55 gal without overstocking. i was thinking about some of the regular mix that lfs carry (yellow labs, kenyi, etc. (i think that is how you spell those)).
how many cichlids in a 55 gal?

thank you. that is what i thought i justed wanted to be sure. i can get the cichlids that you see in the lfs labeled "mixed african cichlids" very cheap. $1 for 1 inch, $2 for 2 to 2 1/2 inch and $3 for 3 to 4 inch. i know a local breeder for them that sells to all the local lfs in my area. his fish room is huge. he does it for a living so you can imagine how big it is.
