My reasoning/concerns about adding are a combination of aggression and possibly adding a little more color - but I'm not particular about the color or species at the expense of what I already have. My male peacock (while I do enjoy having him) he can be kind of a ?!&#%! .. If u know what I...

First let me start off by saying thank you for your responses and I do value everyone's opinion especially because I'm the one asking for help in the first place. I read a lot of posts here and do a lot of my own research online to gain knowledge of this hobby and to avoid making mistakes at...

I looked up tank mates for my peacocks and I think I know what I want. I currently have a trio of either sunshine peacocks or German red peacocks(1male-2female) Through my research I think I may go with: A trio of Placidochromis Electra or common name-Deep Water Hap? Here's a pic of them...

What are you feeding him? Or are you just relying on him cleaning the tank for his food? I feed my pleco algae wafers and zucchini a few times a week. Also, feeding him at night rather than during the day is important since they are nocturnal for the most part. - Someone feel free to correct...

Lol thanks I'm just going to check out the stocking calculator thing on here & go from there while I do more research - I forgot about the stocking calc available here

Anyone? :/

Sounds good :) thank you so much!

Yea that's a good idea thank you :) One more question: I know this topic is very debatable, but for specifically betas- do I need to use aquarium salt? I know it's beneficial for quarantining sick fish and for whatever other specific issues that happen w/ fish, but just as a regular water...
