My opinion is that if its Malawi ... What sp.? Your ID will not last long depending on the other inhabitants...

NO

final answer

its an odd answer. at that small the malawi cichlids will beat the crap out of it, but id sharks can get huge, about 5 feet easily. i wouldn't buy an id shark at all.

No.
You DO know Iriescents get like 4 feet?

No. Small IR sharks will get picked on by mbuna cichlids. Large IRs demand alot of free-swimming space and not the rock work and tight communities mbunas are usually kept in.
