I have a 26 gallon and I want to over stock it. What is a good amount to stock? I was thinking Mbuna with labs and about 8 in total.

Before you think about overstocking, what's your filtration like? If it's not good enough, your fish will eventually die from excess wasteOriginally posted by Johnsbra123 View Post -
I have a 10gal with 30ish fish if that's what you think of overstocked. You could also think of the fish stores. All of their tanks are usually overstocked.Comment

Yes they do, which is why they can afford to have overstocked tanks and also why I'm asking the OP what kind of filtration he/she has.Originally posted by jwh0818 View PostComment

15g tanks running on a 60g sump with prefilter (changed 1x week), carbon pillow (changed 1x month), and huge bio-wheel, 75% water change weekly... how's that? oh yeah, and auto-top off system so everytime you bag a fish with water from the system you are changing a little water lolmy fish house:
2.5g- ramshorn hatchery
6g eclipse- yellow shrimp, chili rasboras, yellow apple snails
29g- geo grow-out, angels, 12"fire eel, dwarf frog, apple snails
45g- jade sleeper gobies, native killifish, feeder endlers
75g- 2 oscars, parrot, silver dollars, albino channel cat, syno euptera, bichir, baby jaguar, convicts, yabby
125g- fahaka puffer, rainbow shark
and about a dozen bettas....Comment

I'm getting a new filter. It's a 30 gallon on a 26 gallon. I'm thinking about getting the penguin bio wheel for a 60 gallon tank.Comment

How many can I fit in my 26 gallon? I have 8. Is that okay?Comment

8 lab in a 26? I think you'll be ok. That's not really over stock if that's what you're implying.Originally posted by Johnsbra123 View PostComment

What's overstock ? How many would that be?Comment

A 26 is way too small for 8 mbuna. They need more space.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
