Would love to have more, but currently just have one 90g Malawi set up as follows:

4 Yellow Labs

4 P. acei

3 P. socolofi

3 C. boreyli

2 Sunburst Peacocks

2 bristlenose plecos

All (except one lab) are still juvis, but hopefully I'll have some pairs in there or at least a couple of male haps for color. :)

Convict Cichlid named Jeffrey, whom I hate, he's nothing but a nuisance, I'd flush him, but I'd feel guilty.

I used to have a HUGE beautiful male peacock, but he died of some kind of fungus that didnt respond to treatment, 2 boring jewel cichlids that I used to cycle my tank when I first set it up, they looked ratty when I bought them, and an electric blue crayfish, who died just last month during his 8th molt, he couldn't get his claws out of his shell, and died of exhaustion.....poor thing

I don't know if it's a good mix for expert enthusiasts, but the pet store here didn't tell me that convicts suck and not to get them, and I'm still learning about what fish are good with what.

Oh, and I have a 29 gallon vivarium with a fat White's tree frog in it. :)

Hi, everyone. We have a 150 gallon tank containing the following:

10 F1 Yellow Labs;

4 Red Empress;

2 Red Jewels;

2 Blue Zebras;

3 Peacocks (various);

1 Frontosa; and

1 Placo.

Some of these are not malawi but I thought I should add everyone who is in the tank.

We also have a 33 gallon and a 20 gallon that are full of fry from the breeding labs and jewels. The 20 gallon was supposed to be a quarantine tank, but if you have fish breeding, well, you know how it goes...
