NICE COLONY!:)

[6guitar6brit6]

nice set up man. i just got some african cichilds to. ill upload some vids of my set up

[MrPeteroxxi]

those are some of the ugliest peacocks ive ever seen, my buddie has a tank that murders yurs

[intergalacticpurifyR]

beautiful tank dude!!

[marlin187]

Looks dead mate.

[wimpyshrub]

All those OB's are going to kill each other when they're older. At full size and full aggression the dominant fish will fight to the death with the other fish that share its colors. That's why all male tanks are so difficult.

[check2wice]

only one of the fish in the tank is a male... If the ob has spots on its anal fin its male and if it has non its female.

[wimpyshrub]

You're right. I wasn't thinking to check for egg spots. Now that I look, that is the only male.

[futureunknown]

shows what you know retard.. it is a TRIO he has, do you even know what the fuck that is? 1 male and the rest are female for BREEDING..

Very nice by the way, that male is beautiful

[lexingtonff]

Nice tank. Mbunda's will aggrivate peacocks. They are much more aggresive. And 40 gallons would not be large enough for that many peacocks, I would say 4-6 max in a 40 gallon. Of course you can crowd peacocks more than you can a lot of fish due to their natural overcrowding in the wild. Slightly overcrowding will also cut down on agression, and shake up territorial issues. Just make sure you do 30% water changes once a week and have a well cycled and over-filtered tank.

[AweSomo84]

@lexingtonff never do that large amounth of water changes a week in on time , because you take out to many active bacteria do 2x 15% water change its better

[check2wice]

peacocks are mouthbrooders not substrate spawners so it would be ok

[uno9999]

can they b mix with african cichilds

[cichlids4ever]

...they are african cichlids..

[superspecky4eyes]

I think he probably means mbuna, I hear mbuna will make peacocks miserable

[28rampage]

@superspecky4eyes that's not true in my dads tank the peacock rules and harasses the mbunas.. it just goes to show all fish are individuals

[Cichlidlover09]

@cichlids4ever lol

[Tigerbarb202]

@uno9999 not mbunas

[lolustupid]

what type of fish is ricky bobby?

[cichlids4ever]

albino cory cat

[tomanyfish]

Hey Roach! Skittle's is a grandpa!! I got 15+ last week.. Mom doing fine.. LOL!!

[cichlids4ever]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[protazerg]

Nice Set up :)

[Coltons350z]

your water looks very stagnant. try adding some water movement in there. btw nice tank. :D

[cichlids4ever]

ty but definatly not stagnant.....2 pennplax 350gph filters and 2 402 powerheads....if your talkin about the surface, i placed the powerheads to not hit the surface...this way when i feed flakes they have a better chance of eating them all... :D

[MrKeithHoward]

nice fish and good layout. Hi from Gibraltar.

[2626ellie]

i have an ob that looks like skittles is it the males that develop the blue....

[tomanyfish]

I have some of Skittles juvies and they are coloring up nicely.. And a peaches is in the making.. Not to sure I want a holloween.. HEY Roach!! How are the fish we traded on last week??

[punxminx]

Love your video--your tank is beautiful! Hey do you happen to know if all the male OB peacock's have the egg spots on their anal fin? I just got one that does not have the spots, but it seems too bright and colorful to be female. I've been searching all over online but haven't found anything definitive. If not the spots, is there another way to tell? Thanks!!

[nainarae]

were did u get the rocks im setting up my 55 gallon and i think im going to get 4 peacocks what kind of gravel u got there the tank looks awsome

[darkcrow06]

@cichlids4ever, is true that when i keep 1 male for several females... the male will bloom his color?

[MLGKarma]

Yes.

[basslyxmon]

Skiddles and the rest of the colony are awesome! FM

[00Warlock19]

ive just bought a 70 g tank to do a peacock tank and i put my rainbow chichlids in there and they breed and ruined my plans lol,but im doing a peacock tank soon.nice tank.

[HeadlessHorseman1234]

what are the dimensions too your tank

[Cichlidsguy1234]

ha have you got any fry right now :)

[7milewest]

that uprgrade for the power head is so good it works as a filter

[00Warlock19]

nice tank dude ive been having terrible luck with my cichlids recently lost 2 oscars to an unknown internal problem now im trying drawf cichlids and and loaches,had them all a month and my 3 loaches died from whitespote i treated it and treated it and it wouldnt go!! how many of those peacocks could i put in a 58 gallon? are they ok with live plants?

[cichlids4ever]

you could probably do about 6-8 in that tank safely. and i have some of their fry for sale lol

[greenpalaka]

fuck that happend to my tank!.... the whole whitspots sceanrio. in just a month a i bought like 50 fish bec. they keep dying

[Thiswarisours56212]

ich????

[greenpalaka]

what do i have to do?!?>. my favorite oscar is dying!. so sad

[zapooey]

you shouldn't have ricky bobby in there coreys and chiclids dont get along hes prolly back and forth all day long cuz the other fish will try to eat him.. suggest taking the corey catfish outta there. sincerely kim

[cichlids4ever]

actually they dont mess with him at all, in fact he hangs out right in the middle of group alot. i do understand that under most circumstances he would get picked on or eaten.

but i can assure you that noone messes with him, if they did he would have been out of there a long time ago.

[btcrepresent]

I've got a mostly Malawi tank, with an OB and a Rubin Red, but my OB has recently started terrorizing my RR. To the point where now my red mostly swims vertically in the top corner of the tank. Not sure what to do about him, I've heard multiple peacocks have a hard time getting along with eachother, or do you think getting a few more RR's in there to confuse the OB into losing him in a chase might help?

[stealthscope0635]

awsome tank! Im scrubbing the rocks for mine right now, lots of work keeping big tanks clean.

[Fshlver]

how many peacocks can i put in my 40gallon until it is overstocked?

[cichlids4ever]

i personally wouldnt have more then 4 in a 40gal, but thats just me

[Swiftt5389]

NIce peacocks. Check my 46 gallon out.  I have an OB peacock in there. tell me what you think

[mcgrady7761]

question.... how do u clean your tank?

[cichlids4ever]

lol well, every 2 weeks i pull all the rocks out of the tank, vaccum the sand and change 25% of the water, as far as the glass i use the magnetic cleaners,...also i have an 8inch pleco, and about 15 black mystery snails also which pretty much takes care of algae lol.

and thats about it

[lilax16]

beautiful setup and nice obs and love the names too

[cichlids4ever]

thank you very much :)

[babblandscape]

very nice fish! good colors

[cichlids4ever]

thank you very much

[hotvws3]

i like the spoted colors on the peacks.cool set up i like that you used rock and sand.

[cichlids4ever]

thank you, the rocks are granite, and the sand is "all purpose sand" from lowes

[1birdladynnex]

Thanks for the Info on the sand!!!I stopped by to see your tank and I love it!!!!

Now another Q, where did you get those rocks???

[cichlids4ever]

those are actually granite, they use em around here in rivines and drainage ditches ect...its actually the same thing gravel driveways are made of just crushed up u can use almost any kind of rock as long as you clean it up good

[bignred1]

Wow ... Skittles is a great looking fish. And you gotta love Ricky Bobby ... LOL. Great looking fish. I just added two OB Peacocks to my big tank ... very nice looking fish and add an element the others don't. Very nice!

[ddyerfamily]

good job

[cichlids4ever]

thank you, its my new thing to stare at lol.....ditched all the dwood and went with the granite again.

[ddyerfamily]

Looks nice !

It is nice to change up and "stare" at something different.LOL

[Guy23HD]

NIce! I thought that Rock looked familiar, I think i was there last week, Me and peaches lmao

[cichlids4ever]
