Tanganyika all the way. Their social behavior, interaction, and structure is light years more interesting to observe. Watching a Malawi tank doing nothing but obsessively swim back and forth reminds me of being on 35W during rush hour with everyone driving 85 mph. (All in good fun, of course. No one needs to get their panties in a bunch.)
Hahahahahaha
What he said. A Malawi tank is a bit like watching a washing machine!
fronts, calvus, comprissceps, shellies... tangs all the way.
cichlids are known for their personality. tangs have a better personality and imho are more intelligent.
Rahul S shell dwellers and calvus definitely
While in the army I met a Chaplin who grew up on the shores of lake Malawi. I blew his mind when I told him people around the world keep Malawi cichlids as pets. He damn near wept with pride.
TANGS!!! More diversity, behavior, and personality. Over 250 species endemic to the lake. Aquariums require much more planning, patience, and sourcing, therefore the joy and reward is much greater. Jay wilson👊🏼🙌🏼👍🏻
I thought you're talking about Tang fish! Lol
As always- Love the video!! Great job guys
Thanks for stopping by my friend.
Tanganyika all the way
Thinking about starting a tanganyika tank. I find the comments to be very helpful. Thanks.
I’m glad!
Great vid! I like them both!
Heather Nielsen - Varuna Aquatics awesome stuff!
absolutely awesome update enjoyed watching from start to finish
robs exotic Aquatics wasn’t an update lol 😂
Tanganika for the exact reasons you mentioned. Keep up the great vids. Aloha🤙
Lenzo 808 CHEEEEEE HOOOOOO
I have both. Really just getting full on with the tangs though (it is a nice change of pace).
Great video, I love it!!! I'm doing Malawi
Awesome concept video ! Keep it up guys...i have Malawi tank already ...i will move to one more tank of tanganyika..
Yahhhhh!
I’m glad u chose Tanganyika I’m from there. I also like he loves Malawi ones so win win for me. Side note on Malawi pronunciation, Malawi- (sounds) Ma short for Mama, La like you stopped too sort saying the word Lava 😂 and Wi like another word for us, or just do the Nintendo wii
I like them both 💜😊
I personally like Malawi better. I'm also the guy who likes everything from guppies to oscars but if i could only keep one of my tanks it would be my Mbunas no questions asked.
Good stuff man!
Lol the end holla lol how about some lake victora love
Thanks for watching till the end my friend.
great video guys! i have two 125gals, one tang community and one malawi dual group (mdoka white lip and lemon jake); i say malawi are simple and tang complex, both great but different
I started out with Malawi Cichlids in my 125 gallon tank, They were pretty but seeing them constantly pummel each other to the point of death made me try Tanganyikans. My tank is so much more mellow. I enjoy it as a stress relief not to watch a fish smack down. My Brichardi and Tretocephalus haver bred which is awesome. They just seem to get along with my various Calvus, Sexfasciatus, Leleupi and Burundi. Hands down an awesome colorful tank. With a few Petricola for evening activity. A Malawi tank can't even come close in my opinion.
Awesome
Hey Jay what species of cyprichromis was that in the shellie tank?
Neolamprologus buescheri
Great debate boys!! Love them both depends on the mood!! 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Thank you
Tropheus all the way!
I love this video
Tanganyika all the way! Malawi just gets boring and stressful over time. Tanganyikan cichlids on the other hand have variety not only in color but also in terms of size and most importantly, breeding behaviors.
Not only do I like the video but I have an empty 65 gallon saltwater tank well was saltwater tank that I'm going to go turn into Tanganyika tank and I need some options and your opinion
Bada Bing my man!
Hey Jay what are some good fish forums? I'm on the plantedtank.net but it seems to be dying down in activity there. Thanks!
Love the video jay . I’m having a problem so I got a mix tank with peacocks and mabuna. A couple of may peacocks have scales missing on there sides . I think I know the fish that’s causing it it’s a good size 4 to 5 inch Mbuna. My question is do u think I should get rid of the big Mbuna . Caus I’m losing fish left and right from him. Thank for the help.
100% if that’s the issue. Remember there will be issues for a few afterwards either don’t over react.
Or if I put the Mbuna in a 20 gallon tank for a week or two that should help right?
I like both.
The million dollar question. Which lake has the most docile species.
haha.. great vid guys..Love both lakes but the Undisputed KING roams the waters of Lake Tang!
EMPEROR
My tropheus follow me and if I put my hand out in front of my nursery tank all 17 tropheus bulu point fry come out and hover in front of my tank
I have both mixed. But its important to always let the lake tanganyikans be the dominants
Shell dwellers are the best. But for a display tank Malawi hands down winner. Too many options allowing for a vast assortment of different types of fish in one tank. Peacocks for color, haps for those larger preds and my personal favorite mbunas. Females color up as good as males, non dominate males of same species display opposite patterning of dominate ones making it look like 2 completely different fish.
Good breakdown!
Lake tang are less aggressive aren’t they?
I have both lakes, but in separate tanks. I just think a better comparison is how are they similar and how are they different in regards to the behaviors of the fishand the physical characteristics of the lakes. Nice job guys. 👍
Def. Malawi all the way! Adam C., so happy to see your star sapphire. Your fish are awesome!!
Apples and oranges, Jay. One can have both. Unless one lives in a phone booth.
It’s all opinion brochacho. I have both on my current aquarium
Malawi Cichlids I just keep on going back I have had Tangs and still have some but Malawi haps are my stable as for puppy dogs I do not think so lol keep up the good work Jay
Good points
Tangs all day long.
Tang tanks for me bro...After keeping both, I like the variety from Tanganyika... from the large Frontosa to the little shell dwellers and everything in between....
Yes sir!
Hello Jay and greetings from Australia,i watched this video so i would like to give my comment,as a person who breed cichlids for about 15 years i enjoyed everyone of them,but i see a lot of people just want to keep males only as a display tank,i had more enjoyment keeping 1 species per tank and breeding them,sad i gave it away but now im starting up again and this time its tanganyika cichlids,so im with you 100% p.s i enjoy your video
David ☺☺☺
Thanks David means a lot!
Hey guys I have both cichlid fish in my tank Lake tanganyika. and lake Malawi in same tank so I go with both have a lot of Colors and And both have fun fun to keep
Good stuff my friend.
It totally depends on someone's thinkings
Im for tangs but Adam c does have a great point about Availability. I searched everyday for a year for my tropheus canary cheeks. No one in the US breeds or keeps them. finally, i had them imported from isreal. Now i feel like the baddest dude on the block so i get the reward aspect also. Btw my tropheus go absolutley bananas when i get close to the tank.
Malawi might have better colors, but Tanganyikans have more interesting behavior, IMO.
How are yous putting haps and mbunas in the same tank? I'm starting a set up but have read it shouldn't be possible though I would like to keep both
It’s not the best for nutrition or aggression to keep those two together are the potential for more problems becomes prevalent my recommendation is to pick one over the other
@@Jaywil07 that's what I thought but I thought I saw a tank in the vid with both so was wondering lol , what would your recommendation be for variety of colours etc ? I was initially for getting peacocks and haps but there are some nice mbunas too , thanks for the response BTW
Great vid, can I pick Amazon cichlids?😎
Ugh lol
Lake Malawi. They are the most beautiful overall. My neck cichlid tank I want to do mixed cichlids. African and South American.
Tanganyika... because it's more unusual.
Had both and Lake Tang always wins out imo 😎🤙
Tanganyikan all day, i love the diversity and just crazy stuff you get out of that lake, frontosas and shellies= bad ass fish!
Woot woot
My wife and I find ourselves leaning towards tropheus more and more. It's tough when there are so many options as far as african cichlids are concerned!!! LOL!!!
Yes there are. Wait till I get mine up and running it’s going to be colorful!
Ohhh man!!!! Tanganyikan baby!!!!! Loved this vid! TEAM TANGANYIKAN !!!!😂😎✌️🤙👍
Matthew Moore Cichlids yessss sir!
Matthew Moore Cichlids you're on the wrong team Matt
Adam C 😂 I’ll be back with some haps soon enough. Just have to get a house first. It’ll take me a few years but I’ll be there!!!
Lake Tanganyika for sure
I’m the only guy to say Victoria is the best lake. It’s really a lake system so cheating a little but the fish are just the perfect combo of odd from Tang and colorful and energetic like Malawians
Different topic lol most have the same color variations though lol
Lake Malawi more personable easier to care for
walter otiepka Walter knows what's up
Biggest lie. The hardiness of both, lake malawi and tanganyika, cichlids are very similar, and coming to personality tanganyika cichlids are light years a head from Mbuna or aulonocara etc
Tanganyika always
Calvus & compressiceps are by far my favorite African cichlids. My Calvis/Comp, Leleupi tank is very rewarding. I love the slow growth of these cichlids. My second favorite African cichlids are Mbuna. I would probably keep Mbuna over all other African cichlids because the females also display great coloration, and my wife and kids would kill me if I got rid of my Mbuna tank because of their coloration. I can see people loving Lake Tanganyika because of the subtleties in the coloration and the shape of their bodies and fin structure. Honestly though, Lake Tanganyika cichlids are no where near the insanely vibrant colors you can get from Lake Malawi.
Also, I wish more fish keepers would embrace ALL domestically breed tropical fish and the variety of hybrids. With Millions of Aquarium enthusiasts all over the world, he over fishing of wild caught species is a concern.
I think you should have shown some lake tanganyika fish
Same. Raise both.
What fish do you have in your shell dweller tank?
Sunspot Brevis , gold head comps neolamp buescheri
Jay Wilson, where did yoi purchase them from?
Corey Gunter southeastcichlids
Jay Wilson thank you..
I'm a Malawi fan but I think Jay won this debate sorry Adam. They are both awesome though, it's like trying to choose between a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Also you didn't mention Lake Victoria, my Pundamilia Nyererei from lake Vic is the most colourful from all three of these lakes.
This was a debate between Malawi and Tanganyika. Ha! Most of the lake Victoria fish have the same colors just slightly different design. Still a beautiful fish though. Thanks for watching.
Tropheus don't represent the Lake Tanganyika i think. They are just big mbuna. Featherfins, sandsifters and Lamprologini is the real representers of this lake.
Tanganican are more challenging and more rewarding I think but I always recommend Malawis for beginners they are so forgiving.
Cheers patriots
#TEAMADAMC #MalawiNation
I feel like Tanganyika is next level. Most start with Malawi and never get to tangs, the ones who do see the magic. On a side note Malawi female cichlids are hideous typically.
Hahahahaha females hahahahaha
TEAM ADAM C😎👍🏻
Adam is not a fish
Prove it😂
LAURIT311 he doesn’t have gills I win!
LAURIT311 Laurit has my back
I really like the predators from Malawi. If I was going to set up a smaller tank I would go with trophius.
Aaron Kunkel a nice size colony of Tropheus in a predator size tank would be amaze balls
There’s not enough life to keep all the fish I want. Lol Maybe one day. I’m not sure how people have time to take care of rooms full of tanks.
Aaron Kunkel amen lol
Tanganyika all the way!
YEAH BABY!
Sorry but I'm for Lake Victoria, even tho Victorians were very rare I like the colors.
and the shape of the bodies and character of Tanga is much more diverse. Color of malavi is good but the swim the same and body shape has 2-3 types
I want glo cichlids
Tanganyika but both are great in the right setup.
Tanganyika of course. With Malawi it's like watching the same fish with different colors, and no attitude at all 😂
I HAVE BOTH....THEY ARE IN THE SAME TANK AND GET ALONG VERY WELL.....BOTH OF YOU GUYS ARE FUNNY....MAYBE WE ARE WITNESSING A NEW COMEDY TEAM???????
WHY ARW YOU YELLING HAHAHAHA! Thanks for watching buddy!
I ALWAYS WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS.........
Tanganyika cichlids have more interesting behavior.
Tanganyikans all the way
Come on jay you know better fam! Malawi all zee way
Hahahaha
Tanganyikans. Less aggression. Can build more of an ecosystem. Different characteristics.
Lake Malawi for me because I only have them at the moment lol
cichlid guru nyc that’s okay 👌 thanks for watching.
Lake Malawi the best! Most colourful and beautiful!
Thanks for watching dude
TANGANYIKA Shell Dwells BOOOM!!!!! By far the most interesting fish I have ever kept in 20 years
BOOM
Tangs all the way! Malawi has some spectacular species, however I’m a tang fan for
Life
Victoria!
let me get sum Tang!
Kyles Wild World Hahahahahahaha
Frontosa is my favorite fish so tang
Malawi fish is mainly blue...Tanganyika really have the different color species of fish.
Put both lake's fish in your tank...done!
Tanganyikan’s are like tiny Haps!
Matthew Moore Cichlids sure are. When you doing sub up of the week?
frontosa!!!!
Jay Wilson ah man sorry I didn’t know you asked me! It’ll be awesome doing it. How do you want me to send my vid?
Central American cichlids for the win!
Lake Malawi always..
Malawi is blue face🤣. Aulonocara n haps much blue face.. maybe they haven't another colour for makeup✌️
tangs..... the ability to have even a small tank like 120lt
Malawi all the way
The malawi on the first video more than half of his fish were pale and he was talking about color? Malawi is nice in their own way and tanganyikan have other nice quality.. personally I have tangs because they stay smaller most of my fish get up to 4 inch so in my tank they can actually enjoy a lot of space to swim hide etc. but my ultimate favorite has to be the Victorian cichlid specially the Juma region
🤔
DWoods are you deciding?
Jay Wilson All valid points, I guess I don’t know what I want lol I’m just starting my 125 and have 5 fish so far
However all 5 are lake Malawi so far
Tanganyika! I think Malawai fish are boring haha. I've had both and always liked the Tanganyikas better, especially the Shellies!
Tanganikans have charachter , its hard to get the fish and you make reserch, looking for other hobbist from the country. I adore dance of my callochromisses, how rase young Neolamprologus gracilis , how eat cyprichromis , how playfull are calvus , how to create habitat and community .
Tangs by a mile! The rest of the AFCs all look the same with different colors. Tangs are where it's at plus you get the feel of having exclusive shit because most amatures only know the boring Malawi and stuff so they aren't disgustingly trendy and over done. And anyone who says Malawai have more personality obviously never had an Alto Comp grow out to an adult size in an excruciating course of 3 years to find it's just like having mans best friend in an aquarium.
