Malawi Cichlids for hobbyists by a hobbyist.
Owner and fishkeeper Jamie McGrorty has been keeping and breeding cichlids for over 35 years.
His love of Malawi gained momentum over 25 years ago, when he decided to set up his first aquarium at home. Seeking colourful and active fish that will create a stunning display not just for the family but for visitors too, he fell in love with Malawi Cichlids.
What started as 3ft fish tank in the hallway indoors quickly turned into many tanks in the garden shed, which is where the hobby eventually turned into a business. Jamie still see’s himself as a hobbyist first, not least as he never likes to part with a fish, but he enjoys seeing the delight that other fish keepers have when they take his fish home.
