Hi.. U can do 6-8 smaller sized under 4" at adult cichlids in a 29gal. mainganos are nice and U can have say 3 yellow labs in that number to give it some color.. I have see this color combo before and it is stunning to see!! U need to find the pure yellow labs, NOT the Elect Yellows..
color combo the rocks/gravel to their coloring (dark substrate is best with lace rock which is dark grayish, if U can find it) and it would be stuning to see for sure!! U can change gravel/rocks/other later on after the tank cycles through or after 60 to 90 days..
I have 3 - 29gal and I use them for raising fry/juvie then they go to bigger tanks and I start all over.. LOL..
Post some pics of it when U get it going!!
