"I should begin by saying that Malawi Bloat does not only affect fishes from Lake Malawi but also those from Lake Victoria and especially Lake Tanganyika. While all African Cichlids are susceptible to contracting this deadly disease, those that seem most prone are those whose diet consists primarily of vegetable matter. More on possible causes will be discussed below."

I`ve got to say some of the fish from that lake look really interesting, after some research I daren`t mix them though with my Malawi Mbuna.

Tingley`s Fish Bar have some kind of Julidochromis that look good.
