Latest malawi Frequently Asked Questions:
I have worked in Malawi in the summer of 2004 and 2005 as a volunteer teacher with the Canadin Teachers Federation, Project Overseas. I stayed in Malawi for an additional 4.5 months in 2005 doing research on HIV/AIDS, death and bereavement. This lead me to work with an AIDS support group and also to establish an orphan care group. I am returning to work with these groups at the end of June, but have not been able to find any financial assistance to help me with travel expenses. My airline tickets are booked on my Visa Card. Surely there is an organization or someone who can help me offset the expense of travel. Please help.

What would you do with a 75 gal to create an amazing lake malawi tank. What fish are relatively easy to obtain and would go well together? How would you decorate the tank? I am new to cichlids and I think malawi's are very colorful. I just don't know which ones or how many to get. Can you help me out?
Answer:I actually have a 75 gallon Malawi tank! If I had the money I would spend it on Texas Holey Rock... it looks absolutely beautiful especially with the fish colors. I have an all male tank, keeps the aggression down since there aren't any females to fight over. And one male per species I wouldn't put two greshakei males together... I wouldn't add any plants because they cichlids will munch on those, even though there are a couple they won't eat, it's not gauranteed and they will eventually uproot them and redecorate the tank for you. I love the yellow labs, they give you that punch of color you want in a tank. I also have some OB Peacock and a red peacock! I am planning on buying a Pseudotropheus Polit, and a Haplochromis Burtoni. I also have a Greshakei and an Azureus. OH my goodness I almost forgot about my Acei, great color too! The more color the better in my opinion and you will get that with an all male tank. I would suggest trying to buy some cichlids either online or at a lfs, I would stay away from Petco they don't have a good selection. Petsmart isn't bad... Do not buy from any tank that is listed mixed or assorted africans... they are hybrids.... I would put about 20 in a 75 gallon, overstocking helps keep the aggression down too. Message me if you want any help!
I need to send a 5kg parcel from the UK to malawi. I don't need an express delivery or anything, it just needs to be there within two months. What's the cheapest way of doing this?
Answer:The cheapest way for you is to have them come and pick it up themselves and this would not cost you a penny
I have a mixture of malawi, anyway I have one that is the dominant male of the tank and gets all the females..... (I was gonna say pregnant but thats not right) anyway you know what I mean, and hes really beautiful. And then I have 2 two other not sure what sex they are but they are the yellow top species, These two are getting bullied by the daddy fish, and does not give them a break, yesterday I noticed they look quite dishrevelled so I have partitioned them off. What would you do? Send the aggresive daddy to the fish store or the other two?
Answer:Aggression is normal for these fish. i would get rid of the other two, because if you get rid of the bully, one of the other males will assume the dominant role and will still pick on the other sub dominate male. i know its tough, but thats my honest opinion. hope this helps tom k
I want to get Malawi Cichlids but I was wondering if they can live together in the same tank as Angelfishes and a Iridescent Shark? Thanks for all the answers guys it really helped and I appreciate it.
Answer:Nope. They both have different water requirements (pH, water hardness, etc.) except for the ID Shark, that's pretty hardy. Malawi Cichlids need hard, alkaline water, (preferably 8.0-8.2 pH), and Angelfish need soft, acidic water. ID Sharks, like I said, they're really hardy. Btw, the ID Shark grows up to 3 1/2 feet. Do you have a REALLY big tank you plan to re-house it to? E-mail me for any questions!
