starting 55g peacock tank
So, i've decided that once i find a 40 long that i can use for my growout that i'll be using my 55g for my BRAND NEW ALL MALE PEACOCK/HAP TANK
.
I'm considering deepwater haps. I will definitely my OB peacock and Yellow peacock. So what breeds of peacock/hap are y'alls favorites and which would you recommend? ill probably use 2 AC 70s for filtration.Finally reached 6 tanks... oh god, this addiction is getting serious. 75g mbuna tank, 65g gold severum, 55g OB peacock breeding colony, 30g(36x18) growout, 20 long Dwarf Alto's, 10g fry tank.
If I die young bury me in... An 8x2x2 with versa tops and a large sump for adequate filtration;)

after some research ive come up with a rough draft of a stocking list, and have moved away from all male as i could sell the fry from these fish for a good 4-5 dollars a piece.
stocking list:
1x male sulfur head
2x female sulfur head
1x male OB
2x female OB
1x male swallowtail
2x female swallowtail
1x electra (deep water hap)
2x female electra.
Also i will be adding my unsexed OB peacock and yellow peacock from my mbuna tank. Is this stock too heavy or too light for a 55g? As i said i do plan on removing and selling the fry.Finally reached 6 tanks... oh god, this addiction is getting serious. 75g mbuna tank, 65g gold severum, 55g OB peacock breeding colony, 30g(36x18) growout, 20 long Dwarf Alto's, 10g fry tank.

If you want to breed, pick one species and get 3 males and 9 or so females. Peacocks hybridize super easy so it's best to do a species only tank. Also, the ratios you have listed do not provide enough females per male.

yeah, after further research I realised that the stocking i chose just wouldnt work out and your response solidifies that haha:p I'll probably take your advice and do the 3:9 ratio. Maybe some OB peacocks or something more well known than sulfur heads and the like.
