Soo... I am buying a whole 37 gallon tank setup (for 140 on craigslist). I was thinking about stocking it with african cichlids. I was wondering about how many I could put in the tank as well as specific requirements (i know hey like basic water). I also was wondering about good species.

Which African Cichlids to choose? see if this thread helps you at all

so i did some research and was thinking that mbuna (lake malawi) cichlids would be good. I read that to keep agression down you should overstock a little. Is this true?
