    no....just crazy africans! LOL! check your water parameters just to be sure...that is PH and hardness/softness....also malawis and plants dont go together - unless its fake.

    It isnot a goo idea to only have 2 malawis a tank by themselves due to aggression isuses. Rather over stock your tank with malawis and do regular water changes. Your plants are not going to last to long as malawis are always hungry and they eat just about anything. Omnivores.
