	Whats in your Malawi tank?
houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	I have: 3 Acei (Pseudotropheus Acei) 4 Kenyii (Maylandia lombardoi) 3 Rusty Cichlids (Iodotropheus sprengerae) 3 Cobalt Blues (Metriaclima callainos) 5 Electric Yellows (Labidochromis caeruleus) But, I have to admit, I don't know who really in the tank are my favorites, but I guess the Aceis and my E. Yellows keep my attention the most, while the others just add to the beauty, and hilarity of the tank. Here's a picture of my set up...had to piece it together, but I think I'm getting pretty good at it...heidi heidi attached this image: "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

MR_CICHLID Fish Addict Posts: 770 Kudos: 582 Votes: 124 Registered: 12-Aug-2003	Hey All, Just wondering what people are stocking in their Malawi tanks? I'd like to start breeding a new species and was a little curious what does well....... I have Ps. Acei "blk" 9 Ps. Saulosi 9 Lab. Caeruleus 5 Lab. Textilis 5 Aul. Steveni "kande island" 5 Aul. Baenschi 3 All in their own species tanks, but what draws the eye of others? Last edited by mr_cichlid at 27-Jan-2005 09:51

Someone posted a link for me but I need to search for that thread. It was the name of a local breeder. I don't have pics of hongis or my tank. I don't have a digital camera. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~

PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004	So far i have 1 male electric blue (4.5inches) 1 electric yellow (4inches) 8 electric yellows (1.5inches) 1 Bn (4inches) & 1 Bn (1inches) I'm still planning to add more fish soon. I'm thinking about adding some peacock(s) and maybe a female electric blue. My friend also has some mbuna fry that i can get for cheap so i'll just wait till they get a bit larger before adding them in. I also really wanna keep some altolamprologus calvus & some Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos. But they'll be in the future. Last edited by PJ at 02-Feb-2005 00:25
