nice peacocks. i like the yellow one. how many of these can you have in there? or you plan on having? any infos on mixing these peacocks with mbunas yet? I have a 55g tank for mbunas and recently added a couple of peacocks... 2 electric blues, yellow peacock, borleyi...they're ok so far.
90G MALAWI TANK STOCKED FINALLY!!!!

So I ended up keeping the peahaps (I got tired of typing peacocks/gaps on my iPod touch) all male, but I did add some mbuna. When I went to my lfs yesterday, I got five new fish: 1 male "select color" red peacock, 1 male blue johanni, and 4 yellow labs (1M, 3F). Hopefully the blue johanni won't be as aggressive as he's supposed to be since he doesn't have any females to "defend." So far all of the mbuna have been doing pretty well, minding their own business and keeping to themselves. In fact, the only one who's shown any major aggression so far is the strawberry peacock. So there's your answer Mofish. They have only been together for a day though, so we'll find out.
Now I know mixing mbuna doesn't occur in nature and is highly looked down upon in fishkeeping, but please don't shun me.
I'll post some pics later today.

Ya I tried to tell my mom that but she had to have him, so we'll see.
I've got a problem with one of the yellow labs. He (at least I think it's a he) is floating at the top at a 45 degree angle, gasping for air, and drifting around in the current. What's wrong and what should I do?
did you put some stress coat in the tank? ive seen that behavior in my fish after i put stress coat...i dont use stress coat anymore since then.
