To add its male.

Ok - Is this a fish that will be compatible with Peacocks, Haps and Vics?

Great, not sure how I ended up with it, as I did not pick this fish, it must have been included in the net with another fish and was just added to the box...

There actually pretty mild in my experience cant say you will have the same.  I also keep mine in species only tank but they rarely chase the dom male is even pretty mild, never a torn fin on a sub dom  or stressed female yet, unlike alot of my mbuna....

So far he seems to be pretty mild,  no mean activity as of yet.  I looked this species up and if he is anything like to other fish in this species he will be very mean,  I've had Mbuna in the past and the meanest fish I ever had were Melanochromis chipokae and Melanochromis auratus.

FWIW, they were previously included with Melanochromis, but are now considered Labidochromis. From what I have seen, I wouldn't expect them to be anywhere as aggressive as M. auratus or M. chipokae.

My plan is I am going to keep him until I see some aggressive activity....Thanks for the feedback !
