    Hi Guys and Girls

    I have just started my malawi tank setup, i have had other tropical fish for about 8 yrs but this time i want to do it right and have so far spent a fare amount of cash on getting all the rocks and building a sump and having a chamber built with over flow and so on.

    my question is what kind of flow should i have in that tank seeing as malawis live in lakes where the water would normally not have much flow at all?

    just the filter will be fine. unless you have a river fish like the blockheads you dont need to add extra flow

    The easiest way I found was to upload the pics to my album (under your profile) and the copy the URL onto the thread (use the little picture on the toolbar you use to format your message).
