imo vics shouldn't be mixed at all, haps will get too big. surviving and thriving are 2 different things

Ya know it is a big enough tank it should work...I have malawi, tangs, and vics but have been VERY careful of what I tried mixing. The sp 44 is going to be far more aggressive then the flameback. For malawi I have a couple lithobates, and peacocks, they are pretty mellow and not too huge. I have a couple calvus/comps for tangs...They do great as they don't seem to bother anyone and vice versa, and then my 2 sets of vics. MY fish are doing awesome and I love the look of the tank.

I have Peacocks,haps and Mbunas in my tank with a few oddballs.They all do quite well except for when i add a new fish in that tank.They dont last long.

how big is your tank? i get tempted to do the same thing whenever i see a pretty one from each group, except i just have a 55g.

This tank is a 90 gallon but ive done it in a 55 years ago except on a little smaller of a stock.The only problem i had was when i tried to add in Auratus-sp?.No one can guarantee that it cant work and know one can guarantee it can.Africans are always a toss up but i did it for the same reasons your pondering it.
