Here are some videos that you might like after watching this one. With these 3 videos, I've almost covered all of the cichlids from Lake Malawi. All that's missing are the Predators!
Anybody interested in a predator video?

[KayJay]

That is probably the best explanation for why you need to have a tank the fish will grow into from the start.

Thank you for the video! Just got a male Star Sapphire and 3 Females! Need to learn more about them.

Thanks for the lesson, Professor.
A LFS just happened to get some gold ocellatus in the other day... I grabbed them up QUICK!. They are in quarantine at the moment with 10 rainbows twice their size - and they are bossing them around! Soon to be moved to a 40 breeder (150l) filled with shells. Thanks for helping me try my first East Africans!

Hi Richelle. I never miss any of your videos. Admire the way you pronounce scientific name. Love watching your videos as you ensure they are informative and you deliver it amazingly. Keep it up Cichlid Geek :)

Very much enjoyed the video. My favorites are the predators of the tyrannochromis and buccochromis which forced me into a 300 gallon tank

My dimidiocromis compressiceps was labeled haplicromis compressiceps?
I thought it was weird but makes sense and it is a beautiful fish, I love the blueish silver color!

Hi! Yesterday I just bought a new hap, it's a sp ch 44 baby, and all my fish are babies. This morning it went missing. I just can't find him. So question: do haps burry themselvs in the sand?

[coreygendron]

I'm interested in the electric blue hap for my 75 gallon. Would 2 males 5 females be adequate? Or just one male
