Icemist Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hi, I am close to starting a African Malawi Cichlid tank I was looking at probably an all male tank. Is there anyone with experience with for and against regarding an all male tank? The ones I was looking at are(quite a list of about 15 types): Are they all compatible? TANGERINE PEACOCK ALBINO PEACOCK RED JACOBFREIBERGI FIREBIRD PEACOCK YELLOW PEACOCK BLUE PEACOCK A STUARTGRANTI NGARA FLAMETAIL CHILOTILAPIA EUCHILUS ALBINO ZEBRA (M.Zebra) O.B. BLUEBERRY ZEBRA (M.Zebra) LABIDOCHROMIS HONGI LABIDOCHROMIS MBAMBA PLACIDOCHROMIS PHENOCHILUS TANZANIA ALBINO MELANOCHROMIS AURATUS AULONOCARA KORNELIAE Pseudotropheus Demasoni Happy to hear advice and peoples experiences. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ageofaquariums Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Well you have pretty boy peacocks ~ TANGERINE PEACOCK, AULONOCARA KORNELIAE, ALBINO PEACOCK, RED JACOBFREIBERGI FIREBIRD PEACOCK, YELLOW PEACOCK, BLUE PEACOCK, A STUARTGRANTI NGARA FLAMETAIL Big chilled haps ~ CHILOTILAPIA EUCHILUS really chilled haps ~ PLACIDOCHROMIS PHENOCHILUS TANZANIA big bruiser mbuna ~ ALBINO ZEBRA (M.Zebra) and O.B. BLUEBERRY ZEBRA (M.Zebra) small mbuna ~ LABIDOCHROMIS HONGI and LABIDOCHROMIS MBAMBA and Pseudotropheus Demasoni Absolute psycho mbuna ~ ALBINO MELANOCHROMIS AURATUS So its quite the mix. ALL COMES DOWN TO Tank size. Tank decor. Aggression level. Availability of species. So...... avoid the big bruisers if its a smaller tank. Get a red empress if you cant find a Euchilus. Skip the Auratus if you dont want carnage. You know, the usuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icemist Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 I have a 250 liter (66 gallon) tank. I am after a display tank. Is it best to have an all male tank or a mix of male and females. Are the females a bit duller in color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ageofaquariums Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Some females are more drab than males..... does sound like you are better off going an all male tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
