Was wondering if it is possible to have an all male peacock /hap tank with mbuna breeding groups? The reason I ask is becuase I currently had 7 various peacock femaless that i had to remove because of the males going crazy. the unknown males have killed 3 females. Beaten up badly 2 females and have pushed the rest up in the corners. It also doesnt seem to be just one male but 3 (livingston, red empress, and fryeri). For some reason they are going crazy and I am going to remove all the females and try the all male tank.
The only problem I have is that I have roughly 15 yellow labs and 5 blue zebras. Would i need to remove the fems of these species in order to get the males to calm down? Or are they just attracted to fem peacocks/haps only. Please let me know because I really dont want anymore deaths or beat downs. My tank is an open water 125g.
