Ideas for new tank - 40 g XH - Update

[blizzack1]

Yeah I was leaning towards that mix as well.  I'm not sure if I'm prepared for all that agressiveness yet, but I guess that's part of the challenge with Malawis.

If I do go this way (Labs/Demasoni mix), should I introduce the Labs first or both species at once?

How about Saulosi only - would it be safe to introduce that many all at once?

I put in five yellow lab fry and some established filter media, and then picked up the demasoni fry a month or two later.

I did 10 gallon changes once or twice a week and never had any problems with ammonia/nitratate/nitrite.

The fish were all tiny and wouldn't have much of a bioload on the tank.  If you get full grown ones, though, I'm sure its a different story.
