One male and one female OB Peacock, one big male Yellow Shoulder Peacock, one female Peacock of an unknown type, one male Red Jacobs, one Yellow Labidochromis, one male Johanni, one female Auratus, two Altolamprologus compressiceps- one gold, one black unsure of sex on the two but hopin for a pair, a female Venustus, a male Nyassae Peacock, a male Electric Blue Ahli, a male albino Red Top Zebra, a male Bumble Bee, a Seven Bar Frontosa, and what I believe to be some sort of Astatotilapia species. Also have a Black Ghost, an albino Gibby, a Gold Nugget, a Butterfly Pleco L168 I believe. Four Syno Cats, a Lace Fin, a Leopard, a Tiger, and an Ocellifer. As well as 3 Clown Loaches. Think I got em all.
 
WOW. Is it...peaceful? :grinno: I ask because I have a johanni also in my 55 along with 2 peacocks, and he picks on one of them pretty badly.
 
Comps. won't pair up if different colors/morphs.

How far out is the new tank?
 
The front wont last. they do better as groups, as they are slow moving and can freak out and jump or slam into the glass. id scratch the front.

that stock list is a little crazy for me. youre going to have alot of them fighting for territory on the floor of the tank. eyebiters are omnivores, and like the venustus can and will eat smaller fish once they sexually mature-so they may eat your mbuna.
 
Well they all seem to get along prtetty well. I've got a ton of big flat rocks for hiding places, and a giant piece of wood for the plecos. I've got a Emperor 400 and a Rena Xp2 for filtration. Frontosa does pretty well and seems to hang out with my biggest male peacock, and he doesn't bother it too much. My Johanni Does chase stuff but hes about middle of the ranks as far as size goes. The most assertive fish seems to be the Gibby, he chases most of the others out of his cave accept for the Black Ghost and the L-168s (which i now have three of), but doesn't seem to actually attack anyone. It may sound kinda crowded but they all have plenty of room. The only real casualty seems to be my blck ghost who keps losin bits of the tip of his tail to the Syno. cats. But he is very healthy other than that, no tattering of his fins and he comes and takes trout worms straight outta my hand.
