Name: Malawi Eyebiter
Max Size: Up to 8 inches (20 cm)
Recommend pH: 7.8-8.6
Recommended Temperature (°F): 75-80°F (24-27°C)
Diet: Malawi Eyebiters are carnivorous and primarily feed on small fish and invertebrates in the wild. In the aquarium, they can be fed a diet consisting of high-quality pellets, flakes, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans. Offering a varied diet will help ensure their nutritional needs are met.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Non-Schooling Fish (Malawi Eyebiters are solitary fish and should be kept alone or in a large enough tank where each individual has its territory.)
Possible types of tank mates: Due to their aggressive nature, it is recommended to keep Malawi Eyebiters in a species-specific tank without tank mates. If keeping them with other fish, choose larger, robust species that can hold their own and are not easily intimidated.
Behavior: Malawi Eyebiters, also known as Dimidiochromis compressiceps, are a striking species native to Lake Malawi in Africa. They are named "Eyebiters" due to their unique hunting strategy of targeting the eyes of their prey. They have a laterally compressed body and a large mouth with sharp teeth, which they use to snatch their prey with precision. Malawi Eyebiters are highly territorial and will establish and defend their own territory within the aquarium. They are active swimmers and appreciate ample open space for swimming, as well as rocky structures and caves for hiding and establishing their territory. Male Malawi Eyebiters exhibit vibrant colors, including metallic blues, yellows, and blacks, which become more intense during breeding. Females are generally less colorful but display some yellow and black markings. With their striking appearance and unique predatory behavior, Malawi Eyebiters can be a captivating addition to an experienced aquarist's African cichlid setup.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
