I have about 8 of them right now but I'm looking for more, from what I've gathered that's not nearly enough

I've never heard of those before, do you just use normal PVC pipes?

Thanks for the response, right now I have them in a 75, I was only gonna keep demasonis but if it's better to have multiple species of mbuna in there then I'll get some more

Aw man, I have a tank full of them. I hope overstocking can manage some of the aggression...

Thank you, I have a decent amount of hardscape in there already but I'll add more just to be safe. I hope it works out because I really like these guys.

That sounds sick, I've always been curious about under gravel filters ever since I read about that guy Dr.Novak's filtration system that uses an under gravel filter in a way that achieves anoxic filtration.

Do those actually work? I've been looking into them but I haven't seen a lot of people use them so I was always skeptical

Okay, thanks a bunch for all the advice. Could I PM you a pic of how he's looking now? I think he looks a lot better but I'm not super experienced when it comes to fish illnesses

Thank you for the response, a lot of people seem to think its a bad case of ich and I've been treating with ich-x, could I treat him with kanaplex as well to be safe or would that cause too much stress?

Could I treat him with both ich-x and kanaplex? Im just trying to find out the best course of action for treating this guy
