Hello everyone, Just wondering what schooling fish would be good for a malawi tank. something that doesn't get too big, say 2-3 inches, and stays in the upper tiers of the tank, and very active of course. Seems that my new haps and peacocks are still pretty shy when I go near the tank...

That's something my girlfriend would say. "Uhh, they're silver... Why don't you buy something bright red or green..?" :dunno: Yea, Yea, just give the little guys time... :nod:

Here they are. One of them herds everyone around, so I assume he is male. Not sure though. Although I have already observed him struting for one of the others...

what is the right way to mix these? My plan was to buy juvies 4 at a time within a span of 1-2 months. I have been reading many articles at cichlid-forum and have put together advice from each... All say peacocks are very peaceful and can be combined with peaceful haps, one article even...
