I wouldn't reccommend it - i've seen Mbuna almost tear a FM to shreds in one of the distinctly poor LFS near me. The staff didn't even take the poor thing out - needless to say i don't go there anymore.

You could but i wouldn't reccommend it - if the FM survives and it reaches adulthood it could easily turn the tables and become aggressive towards the Mbuna. All in all it's not a good mix.
