Good looking fish?

Postby Galaxy » Wed Mar 10, 2010 12:50

I have a 90 gallon tank I'll be setting up in the next month or so. I fancy a group of P. Saulosi. ...and probably two to three other groups of fish. What beautiful looking mbuna would people recommend please?

I know...I'm after different views. After all your love of P Saulosi put me onto them. :D So looking for suggestions as whats nice to look at. I've never kept any Malawi's so I'd like some views from others. Thanks

i looked at some stunning Ps. Socolofi at the weekend, was very tempted! Ps. Flavus or Chailosi are very nice too! would give you a little variation and completely different to what you have.

Its all about what you like though. Just look through the galleries!

WOW...they are nice fish. Thanks for the ideas. I presume they will live with the Saulosi?

Chailosi gets my nod, as well as the Hara. Try some yellow Labs, the two different yellows are quite nice together in my tank.

Hi,

Yellow Lab's look great, as do the Hongi.

Have a look at the Malawi Dream Plan site - they have pictures of a lot of the mbuna and happs - you can then see what you like look of!!

Looking forward to seeing it, Galaxy.
Good call, vin. Thought they were different enough( Lab. vs. Ps.), will heed the warning.
