added a new aquarium

Post by dougmac »

hey folks,
just got back from a mad 500 mile dash from Isle of Skye to Glasgow and back in one day, and i managed to pick up another tank with stand and all the filters, it was a steal so i had to grab it. i'll be selling my 120l to try and recoup some of the cost. the new one's a biggie - 39" by 20" high and 16" deep, so i'm thinking around 205l, but i'll need to double check the dimensions when i get some help to lift it out the van. now i'm thinking of setting it up as a one species tank, and i've always had a soft spot for Pseudotropheus Saulosi - do you reckon i could get 8-10 of these in the tank, or maybe some other smaller mbuna that are similar?

or could i mix a few Pseudotropheus species, like Chailosi and Elongatus Flavus with Saulosi, do you think that would work or would it be better to stick with just one species.

"just found out its a juwel rio 180l, so the size is pretty close to what i thought, 205l was my estimate, but 180l is still a good size for what i have in mind, especially with the Pseudotropheus Saulosi i'm looking at keeping"
