My Set-up

You take good pictures.

What camera do you use?

All these pictures were taken with my camera phone.

Its a Samsung Soul (U900) & has a 5 MP camera.

Fantastic setup there, that is what I would love to achieve.

Just a quick question from a newbie, ie me ! I have seen a few videos on youtube of Mbuna tanks, and most of the vids show large numbers of big fish. I don't really want to have too many fish when I get my setup (say 12 max?) and I hope to have a 4ft tank approx 200 litres.

Will my mbuna be ok if I don't have too many? or will terrotorial disputes occur? Also, if you could give me some tips on which fish are the easiest/least aggresive to keep?

Many thanks.

If you go for less agressive species 12 total will be fine. I'd recommend either going with 2 species of 1m/5f each, or 3 species of 1m/3f each.

Many thanks for the advice. 4 of each species sounds good.

On second thoughts, maybe 5,4,3 would be a better ratio?!

Is that going to cause one species to be hyper dominant though?

Nice looking setup and fish. Not quite so sure about the plastic plants though.... What do the fish think of them?

If you look at the later shots, you'll see that the fake plants bit the dust when I changed the gravel to sand.

I'm much happier with the 'look' now...lol.
