How Many Midas Cichlid in a 125-Gallon Tank?
A 125-gallon tank suits 1 Midas 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. Midas Cichlid reaches about 14" with a heavy bioload, and needs 75–82°F water at pH 6.5–8. Always cycle the tank and test water before adding livestock.
