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!
Cheap Beach Holidays.

I wanna buy also this kind of blue fish with stripes but pet shops told me that this spiece is very aggresive to other fish. Is that true?
Btw very nice Aquarium
very kool:)
thats great. im not.
round 12, depending on species size. some mbuna females only grow 3.5″, some species up to 7″
how many ADULT malawi cichlids can i fit in a 55 gallon?
haha im naked!!! K
and I believe that the “lobster” is technically a crawfish. There are no fresh water lobsters.
But they’re beautiful and fascinating nevertheless.
I keep a blue lobster (like the one here) with my malawis. I wouldn’t call him friendly, but I’ve found that the malawis are too quick for him (and possibly too aggressive as well), even the small ones. Be careful to put in some smaller catfish or other bottom dwellers though. He managed to kill a large pleco in his previous tank.
hey man nice tank Is that a crawfish, or blue lobster? And is it okay to keep either of them with cichlids? Is he friendly?
Dude you have an amazing fish tank! I would be more than happy to have such wonderful fish!
Hey I have a cichlid tank with a few unknown cichlids could you take a look and try to tell me what they are? Check my channel for the videos Thanks!!
