but, but, but at the end of the day, from what i understand of these fish, i would not mix them with Malawi, unless it was some bigger malawi that could handle the aggression, but even then, seems a gamble.
lol i cant think of any malawis that could handle the wrath of a 16-18in TB lol...but as i say MOST will leave smaller fish alone (not too small or they may well become a snack)....i tried a few big aggressive fish with mine and he literaly dessimated them within minuites! (lucky i watched and got them straight out) but i did have to put him in a big malawi set up temporarily for a few weeks as his tank cracked and he did for the most part leave them alone...and did little more than chase them about a bit...
