Hmmm, lots of peacocks I like. The Baenschi and Lemon Jake have already been mentioned. I also love the Lawanda & Flavescent. I recommend an Ngara Flametail.




Damn Super Turtleman - is that your Ngara Flametail?  STUNNING !  Simply Stunning !

That WAS mine. I sold him last fall when I dismantled my all male tank. Don't remember who got him. He was a stunner though. I regret tearing that down. Thinking about doing an all male Peacock tank with a 60G I have sitting empty. Lol.

Also a nice pundimilia nyereri mwanza gulf would look nice in there.

I wonder where he could find one?  ;)

It is not that all.  I think a vic goes nice with an all male tank.  Can even be a Flameback for that matter.  Vics are no more aggressive than any other type of cichlid I have kept.

 :) Thank you everyone who has put input down, I am very excited so far I almost know i have more then enough right here to where I could have a tank. But I want some more input! I will create the poll sooner then later it seems because i have so many fish already. I will close the suggestions tomorrow. Happy picking! (if you haven't already)

I was just ribbing you.   Good to hear they are just normal aggression wise.  That was my take in the brief time I kept the sp35s.

Strange that I am the only one with aggression troubles with the Victorians in my peacock tank?

I have heard that from others too I used to have hap thickskins sp44 and the dominant male ran the other but that was only cospecific he rarely did anything to any of the other fish including a pike cichlid orange peacock and silver dollars (it twas a unusual setup) hahaha

I tried a few times and had to take them out.

They are now thriving in my Mbuna mixed tank.

Yeah if the Vic's win in the voting I will be watching the tank to make sure because I have heard the same thing your saying. I just wish I had a few more voters so I could have definite winners there is only two right now that's the Taiwan reef and the Ngara flametail.

Added thank you for the addition, I was wondering if those would be too large for a 75 gallon though?
