hi, just a quick question. In my 5ft african set up i have a male electric blue
and what i beleive to be a female blue dolphin. They are usually a bit close but after the removal recently of a male dragons blood peacock that had been harrassing the two, they have started hanging out pretty much all the time and now she has started nipping at his anal fin & he doesn't seem to mind, does anyone know if the two species are compatible? As i mentioned in one of my other posts i have a teeny bit of a breeding problem in the tank already as my pair of lavender/rusty mbuna have been breeding like crazy for several months now and the eldest babies appear as though they are trying to have babies too. You can see one behind the electric blue.. :screwy:

If it were me I would seperate the two, I have had a problem recently with hybrids.
 
Yeah i was just reading your post before. Its frustrating because everyone has their own idea of what can breed & what you should keep together so its hard to find out what is the right thing to do in a situation like this but luckily i just decided to take the 3 of them (the dragons blood included) back the the aquarium that i got them from & use the tank for my americans down the track.. thanks for the advice
