You think a mbamba or Jalo would be on with the haps and peacocks as long as it was solo?

Works in my tank

What about the Hongi reef?

I haven’t kept them, but I think they get bigger and are more aggressive than the mbamba and Jalo

Blue Regal Peacock. I purchased four females and one male recently and five weeks later had my first spawn. I ended up with 39 fry, now a month post spawning. I might try for a photo of the fry in a couple of weeks. Here is a photo of the breeder male.
