I have 18 juvenile peacocks. As I start watching them, will the females do any chasing or just males? I'm starting see some chase others and not sure if that is a way to tell males from females. Thanks in advance.

I just bought 3 of the following peacocks: Lwanda Baenschi Stuartgranti Ngara German Red Sulfurhead I'm fairly certain I have 1 male baenschi. Hoping for 1 male from each. If not, 30 gal grow out tank will be ready for batch 2 in another couple weeks :)

Gonna look super tight ace!

Changed up the aqua scape a little by adding a little more rock and a couple plastic plants. So far, no casualties :)

I think you forgot the pic?

I was hoping to get some dither fish that are top of the tank swimmers if there are such a thing compatible with peacocks. I have 2 tall, plastic plants that I decided against. I guess top swimming dither fish might like them? I can definitely re-add them but didn't think they would work for a...

Sweet (not so much for me)....well, let's hope I'm one of the success stories :/

Thanks!

How was the customer service? I assume you had DOAs?

Yep. Already planning on how I will do the extraction process. Will most likely have to pull all rock out during water change. Next batch will grow out in 30. I couldn't wait another month to cycle it so added everyone to the big tank. How long do you think it will take before I will be able...

Ian, Interesting you say that about bluegrass. I just received my first batch from their. Everything arrived alive and looking healthy. They also added an additional fish to 3 of my 5 groups. I ordered 15 and got 18 african peacocks. All in the "small" size. I will let you know how things...

Jw, What test kit are you using in that picture? Thanks...

New peacocks added to my 110. Hopefully some of these will grow into males :)

Ok, here is a pic of the 110 gal on move-in day for my first batch of 18 african peacocks. The second shows a group of the new occupants :). So far, I'm fairly certain I got one male baenschi out of 3 :) Can't wait to watch them grow. Will purchase another 10 or so in another month.

How many fish to grow out at a time in your 35? I have a 30 that will be mine for now. Could I get away with 10 at a time? Thinking of doing 2 of each species each time until it find my males. I'm thinking 15 - 17 male with maybe 3 yellow labs later on ? Peace
