Mbuna or peacocks?

[Al KW Tan]

Given proper territory and tank size, yes. Both are actually close relatives in the same genus.

Nope. My red cichlid would not give the albino greshakei a breather. ? got them saperated for the time being

I would not put mbuna with Placidochromis, no. Especially not greshakie or red zebra...but not any mbuna really.

I very much agree.

Is this another young mbuna? Not too sure, with the broad tail.

Color reminds me of a strawberry peacock, but the head seems more mbuna. Maybe a zebra.

Hmm.. Another zebra? I thought the tail would be smaller

This is a juvie zebra I had:

You do make a good point about the tail…probably a hybrid peacock you have.

That's possible.

Help on ID?

Looks like M. estherae with a deformed face.

Definitely a male red zebra. As Milingu said it’s got a deformed face. Did you buy it or was it bred in the tank?
