Give them room. Those peacocoks probably need a little bigger tank than a 29 gallon. You might have some aggression issues.

I have it loaded with lavarock to give them there own areas. I am not going to put a ton of fish in there but I am only going to have peacocks in it.

Hopefully they will be fine.... The lava rock will break up the territories nicely!!! Good luck with them. Peacocks are cool fish...

Not just cool, they are beautiful and about as colorful as it gets for freshwater.

Gosh darn... I JUST saw these guys yesterday. The later looks like a lemon jack one of my favs. The second might be a red empress.
