I have 1 blue Ahli and 1 Aurtus in a 30 gallon tank- I am going to move them to a 50 gallon tank and want to mix about 3 or 4 peacocks in with them. From reading what to and what not to mix, it seems I need to eliminate the aurtus. Has anyone ever mixed these 2 fantastic fish with peacocks?

I have seen peacocks with others and they do fine in a bigger tank.. What U might want to do, is add in the Auratus last if not wait a day or two IF U CAN.. That way he is the add in and has to ajust to them, this is better on a aggressive cichlid like the Auratus..

Add him in at nite and keep the light off.. This way, they all wake up together with less if not any aggression..

I moved this mike so U dont' have to log in to read the reply..

Thanks for joining!! ;D

Scotty Hish: but they reside in some barrels to get a break from trying to combat their positive bouyancy. Just wondering what the best course of action is at this stage, have added salt and epsom salt to their tank aswell as tried heavy epsom salt baths during the day Feb 3, 2016 17:38:55 GMT -6

Scotty Hish: Can i soak some food in tetracycline or other medication, or do you think this is straight constipation? Or is it best just to let them fight this illness off, if it is indeed an infection Feb 3, 2016 17:39:33 GMT -6
