we're getting close to the end of our fishless cycle in the 40g breeder tank... (36x18x16)
naturally, we plan to stock the tank fully from the get-go, to stave off deadly aggression.
just wondering how many young/small mbunas to put in to constitute a fully stocked 40g tank.
my guess would be about 8, but i've read suggestions to slightly overstock, so i wanted to check everyone else's experience and opinions.
we want to get yellow labs, Pseudotropheus Acei, and either Pseduotropheus socolofi or some type of zebra.
we're running an emperor 400 filter (supposedly good for up to 80g), if that matters.
