Malawi cichlids belong to the most colourful freshwater fish and their mouth brooding is one of the most interesting brooding behaviours of all fish. Since cichlids are territory-forming and they strongly defend their territory there are often fights. It is therefore important to create hiding places and territorial boundaries with the help of stones and plants. Because of the fish’s aggressive behaviour, it is difficult to add fish at a later date. However should you need to do this, it’s best to separate a part of the aquarium with a partition pane where you can add the “newcomers” until the stock is accustomed to them. Only then can the pane be removed. Please take this into account when setting up the aquarium.
