I was going to reply to this earlier but then my newsserver crashed....
IMO and IME that tank will be too small for Mbunas...my largest (sorry
can't tell you the type - he's been reclassified again) is already 6"
and I'm starting to think he might need re-homing out of my 4 foot
tank...the Melanchronis Cyan..... are smaller (around 2-3") but breed
like rabbits....
