African_Fever Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 For the most part you should be fine. Some Vic's can be terrors, but the same can be said for some peacocks. Should make a great mix IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesp Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 There are probably going to be people that tell you that it is a terrible idea, etc etc, because there is a chance, like any fish, that things turn out bad. I mix my Vic's. I like it. Give it a shot, and like any other fish, watch close incase things don't work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLake Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 IME it depends on the personality of the individual fish. Being all male u will always have fights I would just watch for eye biters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
