"Predator" hap that wont eat other fishes babies...that is an oxymoron to say the least. They are called predator haps for a reason

You could have just said no
Where’s the fun in that? No offense intended, just the Aussie in me poking its head out 
You did mention previously you wanted something aggressive and predatory, so why not get something that might eat a few of the mbuna fry? Natural behavior. Some of the predator haps don’t grow huge, like exochromis anagenys. If you provide enough nooks for the fry some will escape for sure and grow up in the tank. The peacocks will chase and eat them anyway.
Here’s my exo, he was about 8” in this pic. they’re stunning fish and top out at about 10-12”.
