Nice tank man. Full of movement and nice size fish. Hell u could leave it that way but rocks would ass a lil flavor to the tank tho. Keep doin what you do ✌️
Where can I get parts for that tank I have the same tank I need either the glass tops or the strip that holds the glass top together including the canopy lights
+Taylor Welsh First off, cichlids in the rift lakes occupy all environments, including open water, secondly, if he's got the filtration and water change regime down, crowding is a well established way to diffuse aggression, I use it with mbuna all the time, in fact it's safer than understocking and risking a single fish becoming hyperdominant.
+Braiden Saville Firstly you'd need to be clear on the species, whilst peacocks all fall within a relatively narrow bracket in terms of size, shape and behavior, 'Haps' is a huge catch-all term for a very wide range of species, Tyrannochromis nigriventer is a very different fish to Copadichromis trewavasae. Secondly, the 'all male' tank is a very precarious balancing act of ensuring you find species that won't immediately regard each other as deadly enemies/rivals and be constantly fighting, also that everyone colors up and also that you don't get a single fish go hyperdominant and occupy an entire half the tank, stressing and killing others. I feel that 45 fish in that, if your going to be using large haps, is too great. I'd likely aim for around 30 fish, perhaps higher if you stick to small species. But I'm honestly a mbuna man myself and some more qualified Hap keepers can likely clarify for you. You'll need to do serious homework on species though.
