Just found some great peacocks at the LFS, each no more than 2 inches in size (Gold, sunburst and red/orange peacock).
Can i keep 3 peacocks and 1 hap zebra obliquedons in a 10 gallon tank for about 1 week or so? Or is that a recipe for disaster?
Thanks

At that size they are getting close to sexual maturity. I would steer away from putting them in a 10g for any amount of time.

A week?.. It shouldn't be a problem. Just don't add any decor to the tank. Bare bottom, no rocks and they should be ok. I've quarantined fish this size for a couple of weeks in a ten. Keep an eye on them though and don't start to think that one week was fine, so a month or so should be ok. A common mistake...
