This is my 75gallon tank, despite what people say, mbuna, peacocks, and haps can live together if the decor is in there favour. Tank has been set up for 7 monthes. And know casulties.

How big are they now? Most of my aggression did not occur until they started to mature. I had lost zero until a few of my mbuna matured. Then it was world war 3. In my new setup I have mixed peacocks, tangs, and a few haps. I have had no problems. I have lost a few mbuna in the all mbuna tank, but now it seems to be fine with ones for 1 1/2-5 inches.
Great looking tank. I had a similar mix as well for about about a year. When the fish were smaller there would be some chasing and little aggression, but as they grew they got meaner. I've have since removed 1 Nimbo. Livingstoni at about 3 inches due to his fighting tendences. One male Cynotillapia afra is now living with an speckled camin at a friends house. I had him with my little painted turtle but he even was an ass to him. Now that he has his own tank (a 120 w/ the gator) he's goten to be about 5" and has great colors. I think it is just a matter of time before a male in the tank decides to keep all other tank mates in the rocks or corners. FYI watch the Red Zebra, I had one of those as well that got removed shortly after the Nimbo. was taken out.
