thats beautiful, i am also into Malawi and have posted some pics on here somewhere, i'll take a look at your thread and contribute if i can


is that a Greshaki in the middle left?

do you have any issues with aggression? Perhaps a lot of them are still juveniles? looks good though, just wondered how its faring? You have some of the more aggro "on paper" Mbuna in there dont you, like Melonochromis?

i also think i see a Labeotropheus Trewavasae on the right? I love them fish

and maybe some kind of Hap next to one of the Red Zebras on the left, i am still a novice in Malawi fish I.D i have only really taken an interest in Malawi (mostly Mbuna) in the last few months

Well i am impressed with your naming.....you do better thank i do.

Aggression? Well of course there is.....well a little anyway. They chase each other aorund, they face off lip to lip but there is always someone to break it up.
it is quite comical sometimes the way a big one will steam in to break up a squabble.
I think that the fact there are plenty of fish in this tank helps a lot to spread the stress around, i have had only one death in around 9 months so i guess i am doing OK.

i got really lucky when i bought some of them as they were supposed to be £10 each but there was some young YTS lad on the day i went in and he told be they were 10 for £30.....of course i did the decent thing and snapped his hand off!!!!

There is plenty of breeding going on too.

Great looking tank!

 

[jakeroberts]

your tank looks great by the way what size is it

 

[jonny]

The Tank is 205L with 2 eheim externals running. A 2224 and a 2126 thermo.
Turnover is about 1100l per hour so around 5-6 times the tank.
