After many changes, the finished Malawi fish tank, housed in 450 litre bow fronted aquarium (5′x2′x2′) are approx 70 fish including 4 clown loach, 3 Pictus catfish, 3 Bristlnose pleco, 1 Rainbow shark, 4 Denison Barbs, 3 Tropheus and an array of Malawi Cichlids from a variety of Alunocara to Yellow Labs and Livingstonii.
Before you say there are too many fish, I promise you there aren’t, if there were any less then the aggression between them would be too high!
The set up consists of:
Juwel Vision 450 Fish Tank (450 litres)
1 x Juwel Jumbo internal filter
1 x Fluval FX5 external filter
2 x 1500lph powerheads with air inlets and polishing filters
2 x 300W heaters
Approx 100-120kg ocean rock
Colour and Blue T5 lighting tubes
Blue moonlight LED strips
As expected the malawis are breeding regularly, there always 2-3 females pregnant at any one time, 25-50% water change carried out once per week.
Approx cost including fish was £2k but it brings hours of relaxation so worth every penny !!

****WATCH IN HD****
Have been asked to make some more videos of the tank, so here it is 
I rehomed the smaller cichlids and have bought a spotted Gar aswell as a Sturio Catfish (Platystomatichthys Sturio) which is a pimelodius / shovelnose cat type….
Im loving this spotted gar aswell though he took a while to acclimatise to the tank. he is eating on doromin pellets & bloodworm which is a relief, I’ll try to get more footage of him now as hes a lot more active and growing fast!

Male cichlids size each other up then smack each other down – all based on the size of their mouths!
