Cichlid, Mbuna, African Fish, Aquarium http://www.shinerscoop.net/aquarium-tank/malawi-tank-video-cichlid-mbuna-african-fish-aquarium http://www.shinerscoop.net/aquarium-tank/malawi-tank-video-cichlid-mbuna-african-fish-aquarium#comments Wed, 24 Mar 2010 00:24:04 +0000 admin http://www.shinerscoop.net/aquarium-tank/malawi-tank-video-cichlid-mbuna-african-fish-aquarium This is my 300l (ca. 75 gal.) malawi tank with fishes / cichlids / mbuna from lake Malawi, east africa. My Malawi tank / aquarium is decorated only with rocks, this is necessary because mbuna from lake malawi are rock dwelling cichlids. Mbuna like rocks, caves and sand, so the malawi tank has to be decorated with huge stones. They are quite agressive and territoral at times but belong to the most beautiful and colorful sweetwater fishes.

In my Malawi tank, i keep Labeotropheus trewavasae, Tropheops Macrophtalmus, Pseudotropheus Saulosi, Maylandia Estherae, Labidochromis Hongi and Labidochromis caeruleus (Yellow). Especially the Labeotropheus and Tropheops are mbuna / mbunas that look very good and show interesting behaviour.

Tropheops macrophthalmus is the only mbuna / cichlid / fish in my malawi tank that has got a name. And no, its not nemo! I call him “Saddam” because he is sometimes a little tyrant!
