Full grown, you'd probably be good with 20-25. That being said, you can easily house 40 juvies in there as a temporary growout tank. I currently have 17, 1.5 year old fish in my 75 (I had 35 up until yesterday when I sold all the "babies", 6 month old)

Agreed

Not for adult fish, even dwarf species.

Everyone knows the "inches per gallon" rule is just as flawed as "watts per gallon"... they're general guidelines that don't always apply properly to every situation. Now, I'm not about loading my tanks up to the max, but 25 6" mbuna in a 200 gallon seems rather on the empty side. I have 17 5"+ mbuna in my 75 and on average I can only see about 6 of them at any given time.

Agreed

I have 30, about 20 are full grown. I have 4 breeding species and am waiting for my acei and my zebra chilumbas to begin breeding.
