In this video I show my mixed Lake Malawi African Cichlid tank! I have had this setup for about 10-11 months, and all fish have been grown out from fry size/small juveniles.
All of these Lake Malawi cichlids like the same water parameters, however, when keeping a mixed tank it's helpful to consider differences in:
1. Habitat
2. Dietary Requirements
Habitat
- Haps and Peacocks like to have open swimming space, as well as some shelter
- Mbuna enjoy hiding in caves and tend to be rock dwellers
Dietary Requirements
- Haps and Peacocks require fibre in their diet, but also benefit from having protein
- Mbuna require a fibre dense diet, and are very susceptible to Malawi Bloat if given too much protein
I do not have any issues with aggression across species. Aggression is minimal and is within the species (e.g., Peacocks to Peacocks, Mbuna to Mbuna). The haps are never aggressive towards each other or any other fish.
