Our Top 10 favorite African cichlids! We have a wide variety of cichlids, from African to American cichlids, and in today's video, we compiled a list of our current favorite African cichlids from Lake Malawi.

We love all of our fish that we keep, but some definitely standout due to their color or personalities. This list is ever-changing, but we think this is a solid top 10!

Some pretty awesome looking fish in those tanks:) I am thrilled to say that I just got an email from Imperial Tropicals (per your suggestion) and I was able to order one Geophagus Tapajos as my centerpiece fish for my 75 gallon....I am so excited!!! I am glad it is little as my quarantine tank is only a 10 gallon:)
I've kept and loved all kind's of fish, but African cichlids are the most beautiful of freshwater fish. Lake Malawi is probably my favorite lake, unfortunately right now I'm into cold water native fish. As soon as my lottery money comes in, I'm going to build a home the size of the Georgia Aquarium. I'll just sleep in a closet. ( Lol )
Lemon jake the one I want..
Another great Cichlid Bros video

Ha, yep that would’ve definitely been on the list if it wasn’t only lake Malawi. Thanks for watching!
New sub🎉
African keeper here with a healthy appreciation for SA/CA cichlids. I really love the predator haps and will one day have a tank of them, but the so-called "common" haps are where it's at! Still got a few Peas (why was the OB not on this list), but the haps became my mainstay.
I currently have a 110 liters with Rams, and I love it, in the future i definetly want to expand my tanks trying African cichlids (Malawi or Tanganyika)
Awesome fish! Looking forward the the new tank for the predators. 125 definitely is not big enough for them long term.
Awesome fish have some out standing colors thanks for sharing cichlids bro's joe honuy cichlid

Metriaclima estherae red zebra mbunas dragonblood peacocks are 2 Species that I breed. But one of my all time favorite African cichlids from lake Malawi is the auratus probly one of the most aggressive ones. But they are gorgeous. Great list guys, happy cichlid keeping🙂👍🏻

You maybe do like all African cichlid list not just Malawi but it wouldn't need to be top 10 maybe top 20
I like psudotropheus crabro aka. Bumblebee mbuna, venustus and red ob zebra mbuna. American is oscar, blackbelt aka. Vieja maculicauda, sevs, green terror but can't find any nearby(des plaines), blood parrot. Pictus catfish. Have all these. But most closer to me is my red dragon male fh still a juvenile 3inch
Which catfish did you have in the frame with the yellow jakes

We might have to make another list!
I think you're exaggerating the compressiceps as an eye biter. People wouldn't be buying a fish that is going to blind their other fish that are worth over 1,000 dollars
