Keeping mbuna with peacocks

Post by daveman »

Just started this hobby and I'm already learning from my mistakes. Got a 75gal tank with a mix of mbuna and peacocks - 7 of each. I know, I know, not the best combo, but I didn't know any better at the time and the pet store didn't say otherwise. The tank's got plenty of hiding spots for the mbuna and open space for the peacocks, but I'm worried about aggression down the line. It's been 2 months so far and no issues yet, but I want to catch it before it starts. How soon should I be looking to separate them or get another tank?

I had the same setup, ended up rehoming my mbuna, he took out 2 of my peacocks.
