agoh Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I was hoping to gather some information about how many malawis you guys keep in your tanks (assuming ofcourse the tanksetup is only malawi) and how large your aquariums are (Litres/gallons)...whether it be now or in the past and give a brief indication on whether it was successful or not..... Just curious and thinking of setting up one...but need to know from concensus what looks to be good (ofcourse I'll be doing proper research too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I currently have 15 Malawis in a 280L tank (about to upgrade from 4ft to 6ft). The majority are around 8cm in length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
