I love African Cichlids
Especially lake Malawi cichlids
Lake Malawi is one of the three rift lakes of Eastern Africa, along with
Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria, and stretches 360 miles from north to
south. It is the 9th largest lake in the world and is located between
Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania. Many common and rare aquarium species
of African cichlids call Lake Malawi home. The species relevant to the
aquarium hobbyist belong to the haplochromine group The haplochromine
group can be further divided into two main groups; the open water and
sand dwelling species whose males display brilliant coloration while the
females are most often silvery and the rock-dwelling mbuna where both
males and females tend to be brightly colored
