Hi guys,been absent for a few months.
My Malawi in my 2.2m tank are doing so well they have duplicated themselfs 3 fold.

I had to move the buttikofferi to its own tank because it was killing of my priced fish, what i want to know is which tank mate I can put with him. He is +- 8'' in length and is a beauty.

Any suggestions

when the light is on he is very docile but at night he turns white and then this docile fish kills of anything he finds :wub:
 
Are you talking about the 2m tank?

I had a 6-7'' one in a 55g tank with a severum and a parrot, and it didn't touch them. The severum+parrot were about 3''.... all the fish 2'' or under were beaten up..

They are mean fish though, so it's tough to say.. might be something you'll have to try and be ready to net one out if they fight.
 
You say a tank of his/her own...how big is it? considering these fellas get 12+ inches while extremely aggressive they do prefer more veggies in their diet, hope you've stuck to that as bloat can be nasty.

I'd leave it alone and not try and pair it with anything. You chose this fish now live with the results.
