depends on tank size. Also they should be kept in at least groups of 4 that means four of each species 3f/1m or all males.

The tanks 110 gallon and has plenty of rockwork to keep em happy.........I think.

I'll post some picks tomorrow.

The Aulonocara and the Labidochromis caeruleus should be nonaggressive. The peacock cichlids are from sand and rock biotypes. Peacock males are colorful while the females are drab brown. The Cynotilapia, Melanochromis and the Pseudotropheus are very territorial cichlids from rock biotypes. You are mixing mbuna species (rock dwellers) with a haplochromine (Peacocks)
