Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm not convinced the loaches will do well with the malawis, to be honest. The other fish you've listed should be alright, but it does sound like you're trying to replicate a few different tank set-ups in one go. I'd personally avoid the sp44 as they're not malawis, and I've heard the Aulonocara ...

Aulonocara can be right pests when it comes to nipping, they'll start and stop for no reason, it's like they're just trying to keep you on your toes. It could be pecking order, breeding, or just wanting a bigger share of the space in the tank. I'm not saying you can't run a tank like yours, lots of ...

left some in the main tank yeah they do rely on the offspring for next breeding cycle

I've had experience with both tanganyikans and malawis in six foot setups, trying to achieve that natuflake look. I was quite particular about the details, even going as far as creating my own custom sand mix - not just your average crushed coflake. The choice of rocks was also crucial, I wanted ...

Mike Bonnick in West Wickham - not too far from you, I think. He's got an impressive setup - 50 tanks of Africans, which is hard to find in any UK shop. I came across his ad on Aquarist Classifieds and thought it might be worth checking out. There's also a South East Facebook group you might find ...

lol the heater is fine wont come on as much as smaller ones, get 7 of 8 of each group and stick with that, your stocking wont work. so ive put an either or for you - only keep one type, the males will fish imo, as look similar 2 Psuedotropheus Kingsizei itungi OR 2 Psuedotropheus Minutus 'manda ...

Sean, mate, would be great if you could post some via APC or know someone who can, btw I'm Gav from Cichlids Forum, think I asked you about these before, cheers

Still on the hunt for those elusive Neolamprologus Caudopunctatus, I feel your pain, been searching for a while now.

I've had malawis for ages, and I've recently started keeping Tangys for a few months now. To be honest, I'm finding them pretty similar to care for - as long as you keep their water clean and feed them good quality food, they seem to thrive.

I've had no issues keeping 2 groups of trios, so I'm not convinced big groups are always necessary. What are your plans, are you going to keep other Malawis with them or have a species-specific tank? And what size tank are you planning on using, by the way? Oh, and just a heads up, I'm actually just ...
