Hello all,
I have a 75 gallon setup with peacocks and mbuna. I had some fake plants that were in the center of the tank to make it so that the guys being chased could get out of line of sight. Worked great but didnt look so great, being only a 48 inch long tank. I tried to move things and they are at it again. Chasing more than usual. I am wondering what that I could use instead of a the ugly fake plants. Any idea's or suggestions would be welcome and much appreciated.
Thanks.
 
You should get some rock and make little caves so the fish have a place to hide. What mbunas do you have with the peacocks? Many people dont recommend mixing mbuna and peacocks because the mbunas are so active.
 
That's the only problem with the fake plants. They work great as a sight break, but tend to look horrific. Tall rocks or a large bubble wand are about the only other things I can think of.

I like the bubble idea I think Ill try that.
