Re: nitrite levell 0.8 #21
I have Malawi Cichlids too. I've posted a full species list on my other thread ('Mr Fronty'). I am overstocked (I have 16 fish altogether) but I am looking at getting the numbers down. I was told 4 - 6 fish would be acceptable for my 200 litres.

Re: nitrite levell 0.8 #23
Well, they are all pretty much of similar size (except for the Frontosa which I will certainly be rehoming). I haven't been given specific advice on which to keep or get rid of, just to take out the most aggressive ones and keep the placid ones.

Re: nitrite levell 0.8 #24
the difference is what fish i have advice on 4 to 5 of som specific choices and of those choices to pick one speaces and have 1 male and 3 to 4 femails the Malawi i suggested where of the small peaceful Malawi cichlids so would not compete for territory as the male would have the hoal tank to himself with the femails generally fre roaming as they do

where as you have a mixed community of mixed Malawi cichlids needing a totally different thinking of teratorys and preferences for feeding

hope that clears it up for all
