si_sphinx Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Don't put any tangs with malawis. For one thing, Pembas are vegetarians and get bloat easily if feed on foods that are too fatty. Foods that you would usually feed a lot to malawi cichlids. Just stick with bright coloured male cichlids. Haps, peacocks, eyebiters, yellows, giraffes. Heaps to make a nice display tank. make sure your filtration can take it though. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 i kept red zebras, cobalt blues, e yellows, peacocks and red empress with fryeri. No dramas there, just make sure you have plenty of filtration and feed plenty of good food. NLS, Sera granugreen, Sera granured, JBL novo rift, shelled peas, sushi wrap all did me well.

Would be awesome though. Speaking of male fish do you have any spare males out of those brown haps you might be wanting to sell? Surely they colouring up by now. As for filtration thanks for all your advise withe the sump am still debating it as i have found i can get a new fx5 from diaks for $600.
