Description
Malawi cichlids are bright, colourful, energetic fish native to Lake Malawi in Africa.
Malawis benefit from having lots of rocks in their tank, to reduce aggression. Many hobbyists will also overcrowd their Malawi tanks, again reducing aggression within the tank. It’s generally considered best to have a ratio of four females to one male.
Diet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed our malawis Malawi flake, EBO Veggie Sticks and frozen foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp.
At Wirral Aquatics we know how just how unique each Malawi can be. We understand that one of the challenges for online customers is uncertainty around the colouration, quality and temperament of the fish that you may receive. When you make a purchase for Malawi through Wirral Aquatics website, we’ll contact you prior to shipping and arrange a video call so that you can select the Malawi that you wish to purchase from our stock. If you have any questions, please do get in touch.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
