Paul's Malawi Cichlids

	This site focuses on the West African Cichlids of Lake Malawi. These fish have become immensely popular in recent years because of their color, diversity and behavior. More and more people are raising and breeding these wonderful fish. However their popularity is not an indication of how easy they are to keep. They are frequently aggressive with one another or other species in their tanks. So determining which fish can coexist is an important consideration, but more about that later.
I want to share with other fish keepers some of what I have learned about keeping these beautiful and fascinating fish. In these pages, I will tell you about the problems I have encountered and solutions I have found to enhance your chances of successfully raising West African Cichlids from Lake Malawi.
Some of what you will see in these pages:
Tank Setup (tank size, type, water conditions, filtration, etc.) Maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc.) Why can’t they all just get along? (species interaction, characteristics, crowding, etc.) Pictures (just that, more pictures of fish) Thoughts (about fish, conservation, overpopulation, overfishing, and human nature) I hope you enjoy my site and perhaps find it useful. I would appreciate any comments. Send me a message.
