Peacock And Hap Color Diversity

Hello
Setting up my first African cichlid tank. Want to have mostly peacocks with a few smaller non aggressive haps. From the research ive done, it seems best to have different colors to avoid aggression. How are you having all different colors with 20-30 peacocks and haps. You got your blues(with various colors on them), oranges, reds, pinks OBs. maybe another color or 2. How do you find enough diversity in color to not have look alike peacocks, such as the Jacob F types?

 

I’ve never heard of different colors preventing aggression. I have multiple same colored cichlids together.

thanks for the reply J

 

Generally Haps and Peacocks it's not so much color, 2 venustus may not be good but another type would be fine. Mbuna on the other hand, same colors and even markings can cause issues.
