Red Zebra and Peacocks

[k-ven]

Are these fish ok to keep together. I have a 75 gal tank, with a mixed breed of Peacocks (3) and 5 red zebras the are still small. How well will they mix when they are adults, I have had no problems with them. PLEASE HELP THANKS

It spams up the boards. people will eventually answer the question. BUT, as we all know MFT has some server problems and when you push the button once on a "lag up" you get 2 topics out. No problem, the mods will clean it up.

As to your question, I think you should be ok. Your tank size is a nice large size so i think you should be ok.

Actually I think that when they get bigger the Red Zebras wil make the peacocks life hell after they've finished killing each other. You might be better advised gettign a bunch more fish in there.

thanks for the help, the peacocks seem to have their own dominate one and so do the Zebras. If the zebras mate will the aggression go up. they all seem to have their own sides of the tank.

I think you might be right about the mbuna affecting peacocks. ever since I took my auloncara out of the species only and put them in the community there has been none or very little showing of breeding dress or activity
whether or not this is due to aggression or dominance I dont have 4 hours to spend sitting in front of the tank to find out
