Mbuna Malawai Tank

[jbeechey]

After seeing lots of amazing pictures and reading lots of info from this site and others on malawi cichlids I was persuaded (was not too difficult!) to transform my community tank into a mbuna malawi tank. Loving how playful and characterful they all are, so much more interesting that tetras

-The tank is a 95L Clearseal - a bit on the small side I know but I will be upgrading over the summer.
-Filtered by an aqua one aquis 1000 external
-Airstone + heater
-Crushed coral + sand
-Various slate and limestone from my garden

Stocking:

- 4 Labidochromis Caeruleus
- 1 Pseudotropheus something
- 1 unknown blue
-2 Small Bristlenose Plecs

Fish were as advised from a LFS, I know not to trust them entirely but I don't have much choice when it comes to fish shops.

Sorry for the bad quality, they are fast when they want to be.

Any comments/advice welcomed

They require a high pH and lots of filtration. Other than that they are fairly similar to 'normal' aquarium fish.

Well it looks amazing but you should deff get a bigger tank in the summer, maybe like a 200 litre
