Lake Malawi ?. I got them from another hobbyist in NJ. He said he gets his fish from Dave’s or South East Cichlids. I don’t know for sure but it seemed they came from a reputable importer. I started with 6. Two died in the first month. Had 4 for a while, one was always bullied and smaller. That one just died recently. These 3 look good, I’ll eventually want only one. Trying for it to be the “centerpiece” of an all male tank.
