I think it could work out, I have a large nimbochromis livingstonii which is closely related to a nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus in with my peacocks. It depends how big your tank is though, your tank should be at least 18" wide
I think it should work. I'm mixing Predator haps now with my Peacocks, making sure there mouths are smaller. I actually have some really small Buccochromis and last night I was trying to pull a red empress female out and couldnt catch her. She spit some of her fry out and the 1 inch bucco swam up and gulped 1 or 2 down fry down. Fry won't survive in your tank haha. I'm sure you already know that.
