    Very colourful! I would be wary of adding more fish. Most of those fish get quite big.

    Very hard to say. 1200 liters is nice and big, but filtration and maintenance probably play a more important role than water volume per se. The species of fish also determine stocking level. The Mbuna cichlids that you have are often kept in overstocked conditions, to dissipate aggression. This requires a diligent maintenance routine and careful management. Other species cannot be kept in such a system.

    To advise correctly in your case, you'd need to list what you have, including filtration and feeding maintenance.

    I can't advise regarding the blood parrots... Don't know anything about them. How many Mbuna do you have?

    I count 33 in the bottom pic? I'd say about 20-25 at the most. It does depend on the species though. Some stay smaller and are less aggressive.
