Malawi Hawk | Care Guide & Species Profile

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- Today's video is a care guide and species profile on the Malawi Hawk (Aristochromis christyi). Malawi Hawks beautiful cichlids from Lake Malawi, with awesome coloration and behaviors that really stand out in a tank. Malawi Hawks are in the predatory hap category of African cichlids, and they look great with other haps in an all male display tank, or in a breeding group.
Due to their predatory nature, they shouldn't be kept with fish that are too small (such as small mbuna or community fish), or too different in terms of behavior (open swimming). Since you want to avoid territorial aggression and open swimming space with haps, it's best to limit décor in the tank.
The Malawi Hawk is one of my favorite fish of all time, and if they're kept correctly, I would highly recommend them! Let us know in the comments section if there are any other African cichlids you would like to see a profile on!

Awesome species profile! Love African cichlids 🥰 Malawi Hawk is definitely a favorite Hap of mine.
Thank you, Lisa! They’re awesome haps for sure - I think it’s my favorite as well!
an awesome cichlid
Love your vids please make more of these
I have 2 juvie hawk they are about 3” cannot wait for them to be mature like your. You have beautiful fish👍
Thank you, good luck with yours!
Great job. Keep it with the Malawi cichlids.
Thank you!
Hi guys I've kept haps for over couple of decades I had a 300 gallon had to move into a small apartment now I only have a 5 x 18 x 18 kept only my favorite ones nitrate level of 10 parts the fish are all colored up and looking great some people say that this tank is too small but the fish are proving those people wrong love your vids 😊👍👍
Post your first video this week.
I've always loved these fish but they are definitely not for me. I really miss my big tank. I had Frontosa, Yellow Labs and Kribensis in there. I think they all got along so well because I got them all at the same time and they were really little. That's going to be one of my first setups when I can have a big tank again.
It's definitely one of my favorites for sure a must have. I happen to have one and he is a hugh blue faced bruiser. I have about 20 fish or so of different male specimens others like a trout, fossocromis and red empress plus many more high sought after africans. Just to give you a idea. Not a single nipped fin in my tank all getting along which as you know is not so easy to achieve in a chiclid tank.Love your podcast. Don't always chime in. Later bro.
Nice selection of haps, they look pretty chilled out.
Thanks! It's been a good group for the most part.
@@CichlidBros the most part lol, I know what you mean.
Great video beautiful fish thanks for sharing ❤❤👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thanks good vid
Eye Biter Next?
Peacocks that I’ve had have always been more aggressive then any of my haps
My experience as well
Thanks for this, been thinking of getting into Africans and this one is on my short list
Awesome, glad this is helpful!
Eye biter would be awesome. Thinking of adding one in my 150.
Noted! Will add to the list
Can you do a video on the 5-Spot Jewel Cichlid Hemichromis Elongatus ???
Make a video about tangarine tiger and bucochromis
I have a Malawi hawk with lake tangnikan fish they all do great got very lucky
Very nice
Was your eye biter cichlid mating with the peacock in the background?
0:07
What about a 4x2x2 tank? 120 gallons
Peacocks!!!
Where'd you get yours? Out of stock everywhere
I would check out Cunningham cichlids or Ron’s cichlids. They usually have them available
How big was your livingstoni
9-10 inches
How long is your fusco?
He's a monster now, about 10-11 inches I'd guess
@CichlidBros did he slow down in growth when he got to a certain size
That big of a tank and with that many haps all you do is a 25% water change
I thinknhe said his name wrong, it's pronounced Aaron Rodgers
Lol
He look like you 😂
