I think I may have asked this question once before, but I'm not entirely sure, but would a couple of male peacocks be happy in a tank with 2 mbuna and a hap breeding groups.

I mean happy, like happy enough to color up, I figure they would survive, but I want to know what the chances of keeping good color and happy peacocks would be.

Depends on the tank size, which haps, which mbuna and which peacocks. I had a cynotilapia kill a stuartgranti maleri peacock once.

Not sure which hap yet, but with Electric Yellows and Yellow Tail Acei, in a 75, could I keep a few males? Or would just the male/female thing work the best

...anybody?

If it's just labs and a couple Aceis, you shouldn't have a problem. -I've housed both together (before I switched solely to peacocks and haps) and the adult males retained their color.

Would I be able to keep 2-3 males in with the Mbuna?

My 75 G (video in sig) has 3 Yellow Tail Acei, 7 yellow labs (2 adult) and several (8 or so)peacocks and haps. The mbuna have not prevented the others from coloring up at all (with the possible exception of my sulphur head).
