Making it a Mbuna tank, and pet smart had a really good deal on a 60 with lights stand and all for 250, so im replacing my 35 that was really to small to do anything with with the 60 Peacock, and the 90 for Mbuna. Just going to run those 2 and focus on keeping them nice and give my dad back his 125 i had in my room.

Good Friday they had that 60 for 175 and the 75 for 250. I'm still mad I didn't grab the 75

Wow! Wish I would have seen it then. It's a nice setup for that price. How many peacocks would do well in a 60? About 8-10?

I don't do Africans so I can't comment on that.

Ya 8 to 10 would be fine. Maybe add a catfish in there. Good thing with peacocks is most like open space instead of having to load up on hiding spots like you do with Mbuna's

Which was a huge deciding factor on picking peacocks instead of more mbuna.

If I were you, I'd switch the mbunas to the 60g and leave the 90g for the peacocks.
