Lake Malawi Mbuna Cichlids

The waters of lake Malawi are home to a large group of African haplochromine cichlids called Mbuna. The name Mbuna means rockfish which is appropriate for this group of African cichlids which live among the rocky shores of lake Malawi.

These cichlids from lake Malawi are among the most colorful. These are known as the "bread and butter" cichlids mainly because they are relatively easy to keep and beautiful.
