If so the one thing to remember is that these are 'usually' get very territorial , very quickly and weirdly the best thing to do is to loads of rocky areas giving little territories and hiding places AND also they thrive when there are huge numbers of them as it cuts down on the bullying ( its true !) .

It goes against everything we are told in the fish keeping world but it works with Lake Malawi cichlids .

yup they are lake malawi cichlids which are my favs, i used to have a lake malawi and a kenyi in the same tank and the kenyi was very territorial towards the other and i only had 2 rock hides in with them. i do plan on getting a couple more malawi cichlids in there, especially the snow white scoloffi i saw (they are my fav) and so far they are doing okay, they both have their own places to hide if needed and i have seen them swimming together peacefully, the albino is being the dominant one of the 2 but hasnt been picking at the others fins or bullying. ill be getting more rock structures eventually, especially when i get the 75 running, ill have more room in it to play with decor stuff.
