The Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa has added a 700 gallon freshwater aquarium for 150 African Cichlids to its Discovery Center. The selected Cichlids come from the Mbuna and Utaka groups from Lake Malawi, on the borders of Mozambique, Malawi and Tanzania in southeastern Africa. Chad Comer, the zoo’s Animal Curator, says that they have recreated the Cichlids rocky habitat.
