calling all peacock breeders
« on: May 08, 2013, 10:51:09 PM »
Was just wondering if anyone had any tricks to get things moving. I just picked up A nice colony of sunshines about 4 days ago...2 males (4 in) and 12 females (3 in)...

Thanks

Giving them some time to settle in would be a good idea.

Feeding high quality food pristine water conditions and also a colder water change can all help.

Ever see Me,Myself & Irene?  :P
