Do you want to know what size tank the Silver Dollars and Barbs need or the Mbuna? Silver Dollars will reach 6 inches in no time, and depending on the species of Barb (small species will stay near 1.5 inches while larger species can reach 6+inches), the tank size will vary. For the smallest species of Barbs, the combo of Barbs and Silver Dollars will need 40+ gallons, and 55+ would be best if you have larger Barbs... The Cichlids will need at LEAST 30 gallons depending on the species and how many you have, but as always, bigger is better...

Silver dollars can get pretty big, I would say a 20 gallon for now. If they're huge, then a 30.

Get a greater tank until now getting greater fish.29 gallons is only too small for a Dempsey,55 could be o.ok. for it,yet seventy 5 gallons could be lots better.They grow to be 10 or 12 inches,and 29 gallons is only to small. p.s. it is "cichlid"

i think like 20 or 30 depending on size (1 gallon per inch of fish(im not sure because silver dolars are like an inch or two tall (er the ones i saw at least)))
