I would love to keep my peacocks and my troph's together. I love them both equally and cant decide on which one to go with so i figured seperate tanks for both.
As a mentioned in a previous post i currently have a 60long. In it i as of now have about 20 peacocks and the above mentioned troph's. My filtration is a xp3 with bio media only, and 2 110's with double pads. I currently change about 10gal of water every 5-7 days. I feed them hikari pellets, LFS sinking pellets, spirulina flake called aquatrol (the lfs guy said it was a very good flake).
Unfortunately i have more bad news, i know part of it is my fault but dammit LFS should give better advise to younger people trying build a thriving aquarium. 8 of the peacocks i purchased in december consisted of 5 cute little ones called "giraffe" cichlids and 3 other very nice colored little cichlids i now believe are fusco cichlids. I am going to try and take pictures of them to get a positive ID on them. After doing some research online i found out these fish will get between 10-12' and in the wild EAT cichlid's.
Im really discouraged at this point but i want to make this tank work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If i can keep the peacocks and trophs together maybe a plan of how to do that would be awesome.
