Demasoni question

[LilBabyEmma]

I have a adult male demasoni male i was wondering if he would be to mean to add into my all male peacock / hap tank.

Well, it is not normally suggested to mix mbuna and peacocks. On top of that, single demasoni have been known to wipe out entire tanks overnight. That may not happen to you, but it could. Normally it is recommended to keep demasoni in groups of at least 8, but some say even at least 12.

All in all, I wouldn't do it.

I'd try it, but I would also keep an eye on the tank as much as possible

How big is the Demasoni and how big are the peacocks/haps? Average size of course lol

I used to keep a single demonsi with a couple peacocks and some Vic's. My Kenyi was the boss of the tank.

I have a bunch of demasoni in with a few peacocks and haps in a 120g. no issues. Demasoni didnt get that rep for nothing though. They can wipe out a tank pretty quickly. If you try it keep an eye on things.

The dem is a adult. The peacocks are 4-5"

I would do it, but like everyone else is saying definitely keep a sharp eye on it or you could have a mess on your hands.

It may work. I have a 4.5" demasoni male with one female and they breed each month. I had two females, he killed one and has lived happily with the other. This is within a 75g with 30 Mbuna and 4 breeding species.

Dems are herbivores tho.
