I'm interested in stocking my new 4' 60 gallon with all male Peacocks. Rather than buying a bunch of small juveniles that I'd have to rehouse over the course of a year, I'd like to purchase different males that are already about 3". I have a good local breeder that I can purchase from at a good prices, and I have a second tank I can place a fish in temporarily if there are aggression problems. I was wondering how realistic this method is for a successful Peacock tank. Also, about how many at this size should I introduce into the tank to start and how many should I ultimately stock to keep aggression down? I'm ok with lots of filtration and water changes if overstocking the tank will minimize aggression.

Stocking info is all over the place online. I've seen 10 to 25 for a 60 gallon. I'll stay on the low end and find some smaller less aggressive haps to mix in. Thanks for the advice!
