ryanjury Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I guess it depends on how big your tank is.. How young your lamps are and how big (and what type) your malawis are.. Alot of people stick brichardi and other tangs in with their malawis and always see it in shops so I dont see why you wouldn't be able to do it..

Nick Burrows Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 my experience is that the lamps will boss the malawis around mine are one 2-3cm and rule the roost over the smaller malawis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 It is always trial & error when trying something like this. I don't mix & match much because it can be a lottery. Brichardis, if they pair up will want a section of the tank. Will depend on if they can all get along. How big is the tank? Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahorses Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 the tank is 90x45x46 but they r all young not 6 months old yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 I have 6 of these in with 9 Electric Yellows and have no problems, they're all young tho' and I'm planning on separating them or moving them all to a bigger tank within the next few months.

herefishiefishie Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Sorry should of added that these guys can be timid when very young too. The robust nature of some malawi species can be to much. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
