The fish from Lake Malawi are territorial by nature, and their aquarium should be aquascaped with plenty of rocks to provide ample hiding places. Most of the fish contained in this category are mouth brooders and are relatively easy to breed. Appropriate levels of salt and trace elements should be added to the aquarium to promote proper health

Many of the fish in this category are much smaller than those in the Malawian, but boast some beautiful colouration. These fish range from specialized mouth brooders, shell and cave spawners to substrate spawners. The aquarium should ideally have a sandy substrate, along with plenty of rocks, shells and African driftwood for territories.
