Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'd recommend using natural-looking materials to create your caves. You can pile up rocks or bits of slate to create little hideaways. Alternatively, you can buy ornaments that resemble rocks with holes in them, they work a treat. I've also seen people use terracotta plant pots, just bury them on ...

I had a similar experience with bolivkento4 rams and a gourami - the gourami just wouldn't put up with them, but I did have a pair of apistogramma cacatuoides in the same tank with the gourami and they coexisted just fine.

Honestly, I gotta say, your tank setup doesn't sound ideal for Malawis. I know loads of people keep them in community tanks, but it's not really fair on the fish, is it?


I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate on that. I'm not arguing with you, I just want to understand your point.
