It is going to depend on the type of Malawi's you have (aggression, diet, etc).

The water makeup is different but if that is the only issue it can work, however I don't like mixing lakes but that is just me.

What types of Malawi's do you have and which shellies do you want to add?

I tried adding a 2 shellie calvus one time to a 125 gallon with peacocks (I know red empress is a Hap) and I never saw the calvus. They would hide all the time. So I would not recommend putting these fish in the tank.

Now if you really want shellies it may be time to get another tank. They would do fine in a 20 or 29 gallon however, if you try to breed the brevis the calvus will most likely eat the fry.
