Hi havent been on in a while I recently set up a 100 gal Malawi tank before that I had a 50 gal that I bought with fish in it 2 yellow haps and 2 electric blues Ahli I know the blues are usually aggressive but one is blind in one eye and the two follow each other around they were all brought up together and are 3 years old Iam just wondering if I put them in the 100 gal what can I add with them this a show tank so Iam nor concerned with breeding.There is also 5 Melanochromis A in there. thanks Pat

You've got quite a few species you could put in a 100 gal, though you are somewhat limited with having the m.auratus in. Before I make suggestions though, is there any change you could post a pic of the yellow hap so we can id? How old are the auratus, and have they shown any aggression?

Then we'll also need to know what direction you want to go, more haps or mbuna, and what species can you source locally?.

Sorry the yellows are Labidochromis Caeruleus and no havent seen any aggression from the m.auratus They just play around the rocks .

The aratus must be young yet, huh? If you want others you may have to rehome the auratus. Or if they start changing colors, i.e. turning brown, get rid of the ones that turn brownish and keep the yellowish ones. the browns are the males. you could see if that works to help minimize aggression. If not, prepare to rehome them if you want other species.


*well i suppose there could be enough room in the tank that there are no squabbles yet. I imagine that could change as fish are added. *nevermind about the age...just saw they're 3 years No need to blush the auratus was a rescue misson Ive only had them a week I dont think they are very old they are about 2 ins.
