smidey Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 there are heaps of options. when the fronts get big enough they will eat the demonsoni. what are the dimensions? i would go for red empress and giraffes, as adults they will look awesome with the fronts.

si_sphinx Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 as long as there is plenty of hiding place you can almost have any Malawi cichlid in there. Within reason of corse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony law Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 what colours are there out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabid Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 red and yellow and pink and green, purple and yellow and blue But seriously, the Pembas are a cool range of colours though not from Malawi. Kandangos would probably be suitable as well and show a nice range of colours throughout quite a few phenotypes. Also the OB Peacocks, although a man made species, have a pretty sweet range of colours too. In your size tank you should be able to provide hiding places for a wicked community of cichlids!
