peacock

I have a couple 5" or so peacock bass (a couple Azuls and a couple Monos) the past couple days one of my monos seems like he is having severe seizures, and then suddenly goes back to semi-normal behavior - looks slightly flushed and hides in driftwood which isn't exactly typical for him. He also...

Hi all, my first post here. Can't wait to start getting involved with this great community. I have tons to talk about and experiences to share. So much to do and so little time while I setup my half basement fish room. This site has been extremely helpful for me on making decisions on steel...

I have been tossing around the idea of making a 125gal Peacock Male only tank. Would be filtered by an FX4, and would set up circulation pumps at either end to get that flow they like to swim against. Sand substrate with several big rocks for decore. My questions are, 1) How many would be a...

Hey guys I added this to my other post but figured no one would go there to look but I got 2 new peacocks and one of them I’m sure is a female I know it’s hard without venting but from the fin and the color it’s almost hard to tell so I’d appreciate someone’s experience I’m 90% sure and it’s the...

Hey guys, so long story short in my 2 month old peacock tank Im loosing nearly a fish every other day, water parameters are good. I added 18 1-1.5in assorted peacock when I first got the tank, all was well up through the cycling period. Once Nitrates were there and nitrites and ammonia were gone...

I have a couple questions. 1st how big do peacocks and synodontis multipunctatus need to be to make sure a venustus won't eat them? I have heard 2 inches, 1/3 the size of the venustus and even 1/2 the size of the venustus. 2nd I have seen a lot of tanks with a large Male Mbuna bumblebee in...

Hello guys, new to the forms. I've been in the aquarium hobby about 8 months now and have a successful Community 75 gallon (granted its overstocked but over filtered :) )and two 29 gallon aquariums. Now I'm starting my next project which is going to be a 125 gallon tank and I believe I want to...

Hi everyone I wanted to know what PH do you keep your Malawi Cichlid in? If you keep Peacocks what's your PH?

Hello, so ive recently purchased a 65 gallon tall. Its been running for about 4 days. New filter on it, but right away i put a filter pad from an established tank that i have running. I also added a bacteria supplement to the water. Plan to move the entire existing filter to this tank when its...

Hello! I am interested in setting up a tank 65 gallon peacock cichlid tank. How many males can I fit in a 65 gallon (18.4"L x 36.4"W x 25"H) with the right up-keep? Would adding females to the tank create too much aggression? Thanks in advance for them help.

Just curious what you guys think, I purchased it about two weeks ago, approx 1.5-2". I believed it to be female but it's showing some yellow and purple now. I don't have much luck venting when they are this small, I'm only about 50% accurate lol. Here are a few pics, i had to take a slow...
