Its more likely their breeding behavior. When the male wants to breed, he will vibrate his body and erect his fins at the female.
Hi, I have noticed on several occassions some of my malawis 'vibrating', is this fighting behavior or perhaps breeding behaviour?

Thanks, I guessed it when two of them actually started breeding yesterday - got a female holding now...this is actually her second batch, I'm raising 9 little malawi's at the moment, but unfortunataly missed the whole breeding event previously and also did not know who daddy was. Luckily, 2nd time around I was able to see how it all happens. Just don't know where I'm going to keep the new arrivals - will need to get an extra "fry rearing' tank! :-)
Congratulations to you! Its always a joy to witness the spawning ritual. Have fun raising your 2nd batch.
