Hello all! I was inspecting my fish today and saw one female peacock was a little thin, then noticed she was carrying eggs! Hooray! I have never bred peacocks, but i have johannis. Any advice on breeding peacocks i should know about? It's kind of funny, I had just purchased the last fish for my 55 gallon tank, another female peacock, and then the original two peacocks bred. I have four johannis, one male OB peacock, two female peacocks, and one pleco.
Any advice appeciated!

I've got a fever... and the only prescription... is more cowbell!
