Malawi Cichlid Help?

[JoeyWoodall]

Hi everyone,
I have got a juwel rio 180 and am looking to fill it with a mixture of different species with an average size of between 7-10 inches, I really like the Malawi cichlids but I was wondering what these could be mixed with? I was thinking maybe some species of catfish or gourami or shark? Does anybody have any other suggestions or just any info or opinions on what ive been thinking?
Thanks, Joey

This is either a wind-up or you need to research Malawi's requirements

malawi's can be mixed with any other fish.......as long as it is from lake malawi

"This is either a wind-up or you need to research Malawi's requirements"

Ok, sorry but when I saw "Malawi Cichlid Help" and "different species with an average size of between 7-10 inches" in a 180, well, hardly 1 fish (forgetting a mixture)of 7" let alone 10" would be happy in that size tank!

So if you are serious about African Cichlids in a 108ltr then why not research Tanganyikans rather than Malawi's?
