Re: keeping mbunas and peacocks


When it comes to the Kenyis, I'd suggest trying reverse trios or 2 to 3 pairs. This can help distribute the aggression among the males, and also means the females won't get constantly harassed by the males. Some species respond well to this setup, while others don't, so it's all about ...

Re: keeping mbunas and peacocks


What's the tank size you're working with? I've found that certain mbuna species can get along with haps and peacocks. For instance, labiatus, acei, and rusty cichlids are generally pretty peaceful and can coexist with peacocks. However, most other mbuna species are way too aggressive and will ...

Re: keeping mbunas and peacocks

I've been doing some research, and I'm thinking of adding some new fish to my tank. I like the seveflake fish, but also some of the haps like Venestus, Yellow Blaze Lithobates, and Copadichromis Trewavasae Mloto Likoma. Then there's some peacocks that caught my eye - the Ruby Red Peacocks, Blue Face ...

keeping mbunas and peacocks

Hey, I'm probably gonna sound dumb for asking this, but can you mix peacocks with mbuna cichlids? I've got mbuna cichlids already and I'm upgrading to a bigger tank soon, so I'm thinking of adding more fish to the mix. I was checking out some peacocks and I thought they'd be a great addition, but I ...

Re: Identification requested

I'm definitely keeping the fry for my own collection, I have no intention of selling them. I do plan on breeding and selling in the future, but that's not on my agenda right now.
