I would not recommend keeping altos or sand sifters with Malawians, they are too boisterous, and the tangans will end up being the losers at the dinner table. If you really insist on keeping tangans, your best bet are tropheus, simochromis, petrochromis and other tangans similar in behavior.

N. Brichardi are by nature quite aggressive and territorial, despite their "fairy-like" look. That's why they aren't so startled by Malawians.
Julies can be kept with most anything. They are rock grazers meaning they can survive being out-eaten by Malawians. |
