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!

Beautiful fish! Stunning. Seems like one has to load up the tank like it's a fish store to cut the agression? Or is there another way? Thanks.

Hi there i have tried to send a video response with my mbuna set up but unsure if you got it. This is my first set up & been up and running just over 6 weeks & all is good. I have x16 mbunas and x1 sydontis cuckoo cat fish. You have a Cherax in there with (young) at the end. How big do these grow? & what else can i put in like this?. Please reply as i would love something like this in my tank.. Great video & set up btw..all the best..
