How come there isn't a forum on predatory Haplochromis?

Not as much demand...since not everyone has a six to eight foot tank. And the husbandry for them is not all that much different than the other Malawi haps.
There doesn't seem to be very many keepers of African cichlids here let alone Malawai predators in particular.
I have kept a few such as Champsochromis,Nimbochromis,Tyranochromis among others in the past.

Wow love the fish you listed, kind of ashame. I ask cause I have some predatory Haps mixed with my CA/SA Cichlids.
The Champsochromis is my all time favorite Malawai cichlid....which ones do you have?
I keep several species of Peacocks and smaller Haps and am working on getting more male predators. Looking for these guys, but a guaranteed male is hard to come by

Right now I have a male Buccochromis nototaenia, Buccochromis rhoadesii, Champsochromis caeruleus, Aristochromis christyi, Chilotilapia rhoadesii, Nimbochromis venustus, Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus, Placidochromis milomo
As of right now I have Venustus, Livingstoni, Compressiceps, and I know it is not a Hap but he got surprisingly large-8 inches a Pseudotropheus Crabro, I have had others before, but those are the current ones I have
I want to get a Malawi Hawk and Malawi Gar, but saving up.
How were able to get so many Tyrannochromis? LFS in my city have no idea what I am talking about and I hardly see them on the internet.I keep several species of Peacocks and smaller Haps and am working on getting more male predators. Looking for these guys, but a guaranteed male is hard to come by

A few years ago there was a shop here that was really big on Africans and they brought in some very hard to find species such as Gnathochromis permaxilaris and Rhamphochromis.On any given day there was no telling what you might find in there but they went the wannabe Petsmart route and stopped stocking most rare stuff.
You can order a lot of rare species from sites like Dave's Rare Fish if your local shops won't bring them in.
