I'm not sure they're Malawian, but I like Livingstoni. That's what I'd get. Never had them though...
I ran across some 4" Polystigma today while making some LFS rounds & if they would've had more than two, I would've grabbed 4 or so. But, then I might as well say screw it & switch out my 125 & get some Fusco. Because a 40/50B is too small of a tank to do any of those species.

Protomelas kirkii

Protomelas insignis


let me guess... these are species you have available? 

I'd have to look up the other two,  but it's only been a few years since I Did Insignis

Nope, just species I thought looked cool.  I haven't kept any of them, but I noticed that Ron posted some large juvenile Protomelas kirkii this morning.

I have 11 total as I added 2 to John's group today.  No pictures,  but I might do a short video later.
