Suitable Size Tank For A....

Breeding pair of haplochromis sports 44 red? Lfs has them for 25 quid good price?

most of the people i know sell em for around 4-5 pound a fish so id say no
also most lfs unless they have a good rep for malawis (i can only think of 1-2 in the uk tho!!!) sp44 are dubious in regards to breeding as most come from east europe and get hormone fed so watch out

Cheers did some further research earlier and found that the males can harrass the females to death when breeding and they get quite large. It was just a thought when I saw them.

Was just going to post to say that price is quite expensive imo and you really need to look at 2 or 3 females at least with 1 male.
