Peacock comparable with electric blue hap

[RT14]

I got a beautiful pretty big peacock today and my electric blue hap has been dominating him? Should you suggest get rid of EB and get peacocks or let it play out?? Suggestions!!!!

They can go together. What size tank? When you add new fish you should take all decor out and add fish then add decor back. Always has worked for me. I do it during my weekly water change.

55 and agreed I did do that but it is just those two a pleco and a South American banded Leporinus right now. You think they could stay but just add more cause right now he's going at it like a raged bull

The lepo should be moved its not compatible w Africans. A 55 is not recommended for peacocks and haps ( that's what the elec blue is if its an ahli). It is doable but not great long term. I'd def add more Africans ASAP so its hard to single out and aim all the aggression to one other fish.

you need more than two peacocks together or they will fight.

They peacock must be bigger than mbunas to void conflict
