Feeding Tropical Fish

Feeding fish with Flake Food

African Malawi Cichlid Fish Tank Aquarium

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!
