Hi, a friend of mine had a single 5inch malawi cichlid (unsure on exact species, could be a hybrid) and will be moving it into a 2 foot long tank ( again apologies as unsure on other dimensions). She basically wants to find some tank mates to put in with him. He's pretty aggressive and terrortorial as you would expect so I doubt she would be able to keep other cichlids in such a small tank. is there any other fish which might be able to coexist? He used to get along fine with a synodontis eupterus so excluding that or other similar catfish will anything else work? I suggested a black red tail shark as I've seen these before in African cichlid tanks or how about clown loaches?
i know the ph requirements are different for these fish but the malawi has lived in ph 7.0 since he was about 2-3 inches.
cheers
