Leucomelas in 7.6 and have had only 1 loss out of 11 purchased a few months ago. honestly, pH does not seem to be a factor in this situation. I really don't know the behavior of a peacock cichid though so I'm not sure if he would pick on/try to eat the cories or not. Last edited by Tetra Fan at 13-Jan-2006 17:12 |

| carpe_diem Fish Addict *Dreamer* Posts: 555 Kudos: 292 Votes: 51 Registered: 18-Apr-2004 | the peacocks seem pretty quiet.. i have just introduced two electric yellows and two other cichlids (im trying to identify they were called mpungas...or something like that) and the peacocks really havent seem bothered.. if anything they are hiding) i might wait till they get a bit bigger (still toddlers  and try adding a few to teh tank and seeing what happens. if they start to get picked on i might rescue them.. does this sound like a good idea? |
