- 10 Of The Biggest African Cichlid Fish In The World that are kept in aquariums, These Malawi Cichlids Are Huge
There are HUNDREDS of African Cichlids in the world. They all range in size from small to big. In this video we take a look at and talk about 10 of the largest Lake Malawi Haps. They happen to all be predator haps. These numbers are based off of cichlid-forum. The fish will reach these lengths in the lake, but in aquariums it is highly unlikely. If you have a large aquarium there is a chance that it could happen. These Haplochromis species of Lake Malawi prey on other small fish like mbuna, so growing to these massive sizes makes a lot of sense. Now of course there are other African Cichlids that are large. Some in the same size or close to it. Your Haps are going to be the biggest, followed by the Aulonocara Peacocks and finally the Mbuna. The Haps are the kings of the lake.
Here are the fish that we are talking about:
Buccochromis Lepturus Green - 16 inch
Tyrannochromis Maculiceps - 14 inch
Tyrannochromis Nigriventor - 14 inch
Buccochromis Heterotaenia - 18 inch
Buccochromis Nototaenia - 16 inch
Buccochromis Rhoadesii - 16 inch
Champsochromis Caeruleus - 18 inch
Champsochromis Spilorhynchus - 16 inch
Fossorochromis Rostratus - 16 inch
Nimbochromis Linni - 14 inch

👍🏻
Bucco bucco bucco Love all those guys looks like I am going to need a bigger tank lol thanks for the share Paul stay tanked bud
Yessir! Same here. Thanks dude and #staytanked
Nice Paul. Your Bucco male ("RIP") was NUTS, by far the most spectacular fish in the video.
Thanks Ben. Yeah it really sucked that he passed.
That linni was on its best behavior love the video. You guys are a click I like the way all y’all constantly support each other. Take care
Hahaha yup! It was in a breeder box. Thanks for supporting my Channel Deon
inventoryking you bet
Hi Paul, I really enjoyed this video. I had a Buccochromis Yellow at one time that was stunning around 8” and it mysteriously disappeared after I hired hired a professional aquarium service to move my big tank to a new residence last summer. Otherwise, I have all the fish in the video with the exception of the Spilo and Lepturus Green. I thought all the fish in the video had great color, and you did a great job narrating it. Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot Dennis! I appreciate it. That is crazy about your Rhoadesii, they stole it?
Still love this one in 2019!
Thank you!
With ALL due respect...learn some Latin. "rho-DEE-zee -eye"
Etc. Doubt me? Ask Ad Konings. Right on a some. Not so much on others. Another "ask", Steve Lundblad, ower of The Cichlid Exchange in Portland Oregon. 30+ years in biz. Great friends with Ad and where "I" was Sales Mgr. You BET I learned even at now 60 yrs in the hobby. We always keep learning!Best always in your fish keeping. 😎
Wow!!! Didn't know they got so big WOW a 16inch fish!!!
Yeah In the lake they sure do
Thanks for the spot Paul! Vid was great. I'm kinda sick to my stomach that your bucco is no longer around.
Yessir! Thanks For the clips. You and me both on the Bucco Noto, it sucks
Had an 18” cyphotilapia frontosa
Dude insane
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to mix big south, or central, American cichlids with those big Haps?
I believe I have seen it, but not what I would do.
Brilliant video exactly what I needed. Can you help me with the spelling of the 3rd from last fish lol... faserachromis rostratus? I’m sure that’s not right lol many thanks
Fossorochromis Rostratus
Thanks for watching
Good video! How about the Serranochromis robustus?
I was unaware of this until this video, thanks for sharing
Those are really hard to find for sale and in the aquarium hobby in general. They are non endemic to lake malawi. They also happen in lake malombe and other rivers and lakes in Africa... Massive, massive fish.
Have you seen Lake Tanganyika’s Boulengerochromis Microlepis aka Emperor Cichlid? Dude is a boss at 36”!!!
Yeah, those things are insane
Yeah, they are the 'real deal' big Cichlids!
The biggest would be an emperor cichlid that grows 3 feet. Very few people have them in aquariums . There very aggressive eaters and the size is just to much for most hobbiest . Cool video Paul.
Thanks for sharing Joe.
Thanks
Hey buddy :)
You forgot about the biggest one of them all. The one king who dwarfs even all of these guys with its mass. I’m of course talking about the Serannochromis robustus. Name says it all🤣
Hey there! Many thanks for the suggestion.
You forgot a few like the gar n christyi
Are you sure that was a Lepturas green? Looks more like the Spectabilis
It is a Lepturus Green. The lighting in that tank is terrible. In my next video, I will have a clip of him in it, much better lighting. Keep an eye out for it
Nice video king... only the title should be "Biggest African Cichlid Fish"... African Cichlid in the World is wrong :-)
thanks for watching
US is the only country left in the world (I think) to still use inches, etc... May I kindly suggest if you could indicate sizes in cm as well please? Thanks, keep up with the good job!
I will have to try and remember. I am so used to inches.
@@inventoryking Thank you :)
@@inventoryking just multiply by 2,54 cm
my new tank will : 125-140 long x 47 x 35 inch =898 gallon.
That sounds amazing!
livingstoni, venustus, malawi barracuda?
Yup Big fish!
Dang. I betta get a bigger tank. Hahaha. I have most of those. Except Spilorynchus. Darn it. Imma need a ten footer now hahahahahaha
Lol!! Yeah I need a 10ft tank too! Thanks for watching Frankie!
Which is the biggest peacock cichlid and what's its size?
Hard to say. Sunshine’s and German Reds get big. So do Jakes
Maybe one big aquarium is enough size? 350 x 120x 90 cm?
3450 liter
That sounds like an amazing tank!
That sounds like an amazing tank!
They're all alpha males until they step into Tanganyika 😁
Lol
Where is your Emperor cichlid?
They are in Lake Tanganyika and this video was about Malawi
I wish these fish had common names.... or do they? they'd be easier to find if I could spell their name haha
Hey Mason. Some of them do and some don’t.
And we will tell you what number one is if you have a tank over 1,500 gallons................. Emperor Cichlid baby.....one day I WILL Have one!
Yeah! Need the tank for it. But my vid is about Malawi cichlids
Is malawi cochlid ok to live in a pond?
Yes, as long as the temperature and water parameters are good
How many kg does the biggest one weigh? I've seen the heaviest 9 kg, but it's not a beautiful fish. But there was a contest
Which Cichlid you’re talking about weighs 9 kg
All about filtration guys, any fish can and will reach Max size with the proper filtration
That is true! Perfect water can do a lot
Hello, do you have an email address as i have a professional question about the cichlids and their farming? Thanks
What is your question?
You missed the biggest. Serranochromis robustus. Not really an aquarium fish.
Yeah, those dudes a massive
*laughs in central American cichlid*. Just playin, haps are as legit as rift lake cichlids come!
No doubt!
.
XXXXXDDDDDDD - *AFRICAN* CICHLIDS *IN THE WORLD*
- So, only Afican cichlids then...
yes
How bout the common names? You tube caption is horrible.
I would love to see the list written out!
Thanks for the info
Thanks for the suggestion
Fake video
