I'm in the planning stages of a 90g mbuna tank. I already have 60 pounds of lace rock, sand substrate, a AC110 and XP3 for filtration, powerheads and heaters, ready to go. I also have two dozen med. cichlids that I can pick up when the tank is ready. They're 8 each of p. elongatus, yellow labs, and lab mbambas.
I'd like to have a large hap or peacock as a centerpiece fish. Would Dimidiochromis Compressicep (malawi eye biter) be compatible, or would he cause/receive problems? The breeder who will be supplying the mbunas has a large tank with mbuna and peacocks mixed together, but his fish are mostly male and mostly large adults. Mine will be mostly females (2m/6f) and younger. Thanks for any input!
