Current I have a 150 L tank dimission are L85CM x W42cm x H40cm. I have 14 Affican Cichlids

3 tangerine peacock cichlid sizes 6-7cm

1 bumblebee cichlid size 9cm

1 Kingsizei size 7cm

1 Elec Yellow 7cm

1 maingano 7cm

2 blue peacock cichlid sizes 4-5cm

2 jacobfreibergi size 5-6cm

2 Red peacock cichlid sizes 4-5cm

I have a Eheim 350 external filter max floating rate 620L/H, Hp statable at 8.0. I do water change weekly about 45-50%.
what is my maximum stock for the tank, is that the more stock the less aggressive they are.

Personally I think your at around the number now. While your peacocks are small now you have to remember that they can grow into a decent sized fish especially for a smaller tank like yours. As far as aggression in tanks go, putting in more fish doesn't normally reduce agro in the tank rather than spread the agro out so that one fish is not always bearing the brunt of the grumpy fish. The only thing I'd probably put in is a couple of bristlenose and maybe a couple of small clown loaches. Both will help to keep your tank clean.

I think that tank is to small for Mbuna and peacocks

if u want to keep them I go with no smaller then a 4ft

they get along now that they are small but look out when they grow up

the mbuna will rule the tank and the peacock will have there u know

what kicked all over the tank
