adding fish

[Gvillboy]

I want to add some peacocks (male and female) to my 55 gallon fish tank but I don't know what kind to get. I want something very bright that will stand out in my tank...I was thinking yellow, blue, or red. Any suggestions?

Peacocks are beautiful! What else in in the tank?

I have 3 flame backs two sp. 44 and one red flank from lake Victoria, two frontosas, 3 black calvus and a gold head from lake tanganyika. My make and female angel fish which I'm taking out and two albino African mix.

I thought frontosa were super aggressive? Lol

They only show aggression when their toes are stepped on! Or than just run away!

I think before you can consider buying any more fish I would really look into your current stock. Just because they are all African cichlids doesn't mean they can all go together, they all have different aggression levels, water parameters and dietary needs.

No more than any other African. In my experience they've been less aggressive than my mbunas.

I totally agree. Just cuz you can put them all in the same tank doesn't mean you should. (for the health and happiness of the fish)
