DeadFishFloating Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'm actually a bit oldschool, I usually keep fish with them. But I know of many people these days who constantly push the envelope. As to pH levels, I suppose you could google Malawi, but thats cheating really. I'd say a pHD is something like engineering would be most useful for fish that like to dig. But more detail would let us know if an arts degree would be more apt.

TK_10 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 dude most other lake malawi cichlids should be right with them also featherfin cats cuckoo cats or bns or plecos just make sure theres plenty of cover for fish to hide and establish territorys and maybe have a hospital tank ready lol just in case as for ph just google the fish you plan on keeping and as long as they are all pretty much the same keep it in the middle of all there averages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFishFloating Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 wouldnt it be easier to tell you what fish wont go with them? seriously make a list of species you like, and we can tell you wont work what you ask is epic beyond measure. and I usually leap at epic theres a forum search function, try looking up yellows I mean other people have put tons of their experience with them on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdan1 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 elec blues, elec yellows, red zebras, cobalt blues, crabro, mosobo,red empress, hongi and white knights... theres my list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFishFloating Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 elec blues and white knights..... get them too small and the fish below will kill them, get them too big and they will eat smaller specimens of fish below elec yellows...... very chilled out mbuna. Add these first. red zebras, cobalt blues....... these zebra will probably hybradize. when they get big they will run the tank. Add these last crabro,mosobo....... aggressive for their size, add these just before the zebras ,red empress......... only get a single male. will be centre piece display fish hongi..... will work great this is order I would add in...... elec yellows elec blues +white knights hongi red empress crabro, mosobo red zebras, cobalt blues If it was me I would go with the following list instead elec yellows (4) elec blues (1male) dragon blood peacock (1 male) hongi (1 male) blue pindani (4) red empress (1 male) crabro, (1male 1 female) mosobo (1 male) red zebras, (1 male 2 female) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

028NVD Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 better to ask a stupid question than to make a stupid mistake! c'mon guys we all started somewhere, i'm sure i had some retarded questions when i 1st came here!!!! that said, a lil bit of common sense doesnt go astray! dan, give either pet city or redlands pet centre a call regarding test kits and any other questions you may have.
