I don't have rosy barbs but I do have three clown barbs and they all seem to be doing fine. Every now and then the barbs chase the young cichlids but never really fight. I also have some platys in there that I just can not get rid of and the cichlids could care less about them. I really think it...

Is there a common name or a shorter way of referring to them?

I have not yet learned a lot of the different cichlids. I know a handful and I know this is a peacock but I am not sure of the species. I got him for the same reason a lot of people get cichlids, he is pretty haha. I would appreciate some help on identification.

I just bought my firsts"calico" peacock and I hope it turns out to look awsome. I am ok with man made hybrids in captivity especially if mine ends up looking like his dad.

I just bought one of each of these to add to my cichlid tank. Both are young but I was just wanting to hear from folks that have owned them before and your experience with them. It is my understanding that the calico is a hybrid, which I am ok with because the are still pretty fish. But I did...
