D. compressiceps w/ peacocks?

[reptileguy2727]

I was just searching for D. compressiceps and one site listed peacocks as acceptable tankmates. I thought that the comps would be too aggressive, but am I wrong? I have a 150 with assorted peacocks and if they would be fine together I would love to have some comps in there too. Another site listed the comps at the lowest level of aggression for haps.

I wouldn't. "In the wild, this fish preys on other cichlids, mostly Pseudotropheus and Aulonocara species and could easily revert back to this practice in the aquarium if preventive measures are not taken."
