They're not actually from Lake Malawi, they're one of the Riverine species, and from what I read highly adaptable to different water conditions.

Jewels are a funny species that don't really fit in setups containing other african species and will generally do better in with larger NW cichlids that can hold their own.

If you have a pair then you would be best off adding them to their own tank and then keeping the other in with the O's
