hi all,
i'm setting up a malawi tank and i've got the basics covered - 4ft min, high ph (8.2 straight out the tap), lots of rocks for decor, and as high as possible. but what i'm struggling with is what fish to stock. i like the following fish - mel. cyaneo, electric blue johanni, cyrtocara moori (blue dolphins), pseudochromis demasonii, and yellow labs. i'm particularly drawn to the blue stripes.
i know haps don't work well in the same tank, but i also know there'll be some scuffles. what i want to avoid is one particular fish being targeted by its tankmates. any advice on what works well and what to avoid would be great.
