I have a peacock that everytime i put him in my all male tank he chases my other fish all around. I had him floating in the net but now i put him in my acei tank and demasoni tank hes getting a taste of his own of it. Do u think if i leave him in my mbuna tank for a week or so and then put him in back in my all male tank he could calm down
 
I readed the red shoulder n my albino is now the dom male the albino is chaseing the red shoulder maybe they will settle in. i just wish i could add my 6-7" male borleyi but he always chases all my fish
 
Maybe give it some time, upgrading to a larger tank may also lessen aggression between them. My two red empress fought and fought in my 75g then I bought them a 120g and their fine now
 
if u are adding him to tank that already has a pecking order then u are asking for trouble
move the decor around do a waterchange then add him strait away this will break up the teritories the existing fish have established
there will alway be a dit of chasing when adding fish to tanks but it is natural
