How Many Livingstonii Cichlid in a 125-Gallon Tank?

A 125-gallon tank suits 1 Livingstonii Cichlid. This species is territorial and is best kept singly unless the tank is large enough to break up aggression.

Why

Stocking is driven by adult size and waste output, not just fish count. Livingstonii Cichlid reaches about 10" with a heavy bioload, and needs 75–82°F water at pH 7.6–8.6. Always cycle the tank and test water before adding livestock.
