Tank Size

[swampymc8]

Hi all
Quick question. Am thinking of starting an mbuma tank. Prob be mainly yellow labs ( love them ) . What a I need to no is , am thinking of getting a juwel rio 180 , is that big enough . If not won't buy it will get something bigger.

Thanks

The best thing to do is go for the biggest tank you can afford. With Mbuna you'll want to get quite a few fish in, a Fluval 240 Roma would be a decent tank. You could get a group of Yellow labs and another species. I'd reckon about 15 fish (fully grown taken into account) in that tank (based on 6" fish)

Just remember to have good filtration
