i would like any insite into breeding peacocks and Eblues, and could they mix breeed? my pride and joy is my 9in long EBlue. could he breed with a 3in female? how may male to females do i need and should i just have a single speices tank?

If by EBlue you mean fryeri, yes they can crossbreed with peacocks...a fairly common cross. One male and four or more females should work.

I'm terrified of what could (read: very likely will) happen in your tank when that auratus, bumblebee, and kenyi grow up.

Oh, just realized you posted about thinning out the herd. Sounds like a good plan, then. Avoiding bloodshed!

yeah the bumblebee and the cat fish are like goats they start on the other sides of the tank and ram each other out from under there big rocky home. any clue where i can get some females around breeding size. i would like some fryeri females and female peacock. thanks DJransome on the real name of my large fryeri. its been killing me there so many blue cichlids that look the same. now i really look at him vs a pic i found on here thats deff what he is.
