I have a couple questions.
1st how big do peacocks and synodontis multipunctatus need to be to make sure a venustus won't eat them? I have heard 2 inches, 1/3 the size of the venustus and even 1/2 the size of the venustus.
2nd I have seen a lot of tanks with a large Male Mbuna bumblebee in there with the peacocks. Is the bumblebee a rare exception that can go with peacocks or are these tank owners going to wake up one day to half their fish killed by the bumblebee?
3rd I see a lot of store peacock tanks with multiple venustus in their all male peacock show tank and some of the venustus appear to be female. Can you really put more than 1 venustus in a 90 gallon? And are the others really a female venustus like they look or just scared males as I thought any female in a male peacock tank would be a disaster or is that just a female peacock that would make everyone fight?
Appreciate the help as I have had mbuna for years but this is my 1st peacock tank.
