My Experience Keeping and Breeding Peacocks

Peacocks are very docile cichlids from Lake Malawi in Africa.  Because of this, it is not a good idea to keep them with the more aggressive Malawi cichlids.  This includes red zebras and Melanochromis auratus.  I have successfully kept them with yellow labs and p socolofi.  These mbuna are not as aggressive.

Peacocks are omnivores and need a varied diet.  I suggest feeding them a mix of high quality spirulina flakes and frozen krill.  Spirulina is an algae and the colors found in it will bring out the colors in the fish. 

If you intend to breed peacocks, do not keep different breeds in the same tank.  They will cross breed and you will then have a hybrid on your hands that is detrimental to the hobby.
