165 L aqua one 850, trickle filter ~950L/hr but will upgrade to a canister/ add internal as well when I add more fish, 5 around 4 cm different species of aulonocara. Fair amount of limestone and rock built up more in one corner so there is open spaces for swimming. Ph 8.2 consistent temp 26. Does that help

Anyone got any ideas please

I'd say pretty much any Malawi other than the overly aggressive or large species (rules out a lot of the haps). Also try to stick with males only if u want to avoid hybridisation.

Do u have a rough idea of what species u like?

Cynotilipia pulpicans are a nice lil mbuna. Or Labs like electric yellows, nkali or chisimulae. A neon spot or 2 (males are pretty agro against each other if confined).

Some nice fish here too but most would outgrow your tank - http://www.perthcich...showtopic=37153

I love the electric yellows!!! So pretty much stick with Malawis, I really love the peacocks but have heard probably not best keeping all tank mates these guys because of aggression. What do you think about that?? Pics are great thanks!!
