180 Gallon Malawi Haplochromines (Hap/Peacock)
Loading...
Uploaded by akysten on Aug 26, 2008
The is the latest video of my 180 gallon Hap tank. This tank has larger Haplochromines from lake Malawi(with some notable exceptions)
What you might find interesting is some of the fish in the tank. The small fish that survive with the large Haps, the Demasoni, and small yellow labs and tiny Calvus that have survived and even thrived in this tank.
Some fish are projects that I'm excited about. The Champ, the Mbenji Thick Lip should start to color soon(both are confirmed males). I also have a nice Red Empress that was my former breeder that hasn't shown much in this tank as of yet.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

What kind of fish is the medium sized Orange one with the light blue cheeks and top of fins. I think I have the same one but when I got it, they didn't have a name on the tank. I thought it might be a dragons blood peacock but I could be wrong. Check out my 52 gallon aquarium videos if u get a chance. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Funny how everybody knows everything about nothing really. Your tanks are nice, and its good how you handle some of the dumb stuff people try and tell you. Africans are a hastle, ive had a malawi tank for about a year in a half and had plenty of truoble and fun... My questions are why not try a livingstonii and have you ever kept a compressiceps?

I wouldn't do livingstoni. You could do 8-10 peacoks, or 6 peacocks and 4-6 mid sized haps.

do you have lowered aggression with the large amount of adult fish in that size tank? i had a 55g with about 6 adult males and a few yellow labs and it got to be a problem with all of them not just one picking on the others. i want to do a all male 125g or larger. i'm thinking at least a 6' long footprint will help.

Probably.. I tried to keep some in a 55g but over time, even with frequent water changes, they just became unhealthy.
It can be done but you have to know what fish work. You also have to be able to judge your fish when you pick them. You dont want to hyperagressive fish and you're more interested in potential than necessarily the largest or most colorful in the tank. Get a bunch of mid agression guys with good fin markings and color potential and you keep some in a 55.
