My Top 10 Favorite Peacock Cichlids!

My Top 10 Favorite Peacock Cichlids! We have a wide variety of cichlids, from African to American cichlids, and in today's video, I compiled a list of my current favorite peacock cichlids from Lake Malawi.
- African Cichlid Playlist: • All About African Cich...
We love all of our fish that we keep, but some definitely standout due to their color or personalities. This list is ever-changing, but we think this is a solid top 10!

[@jasonsingh5293]

Nice cichlids bro's beautiful tanks but I had two peacock cichlids before with my oscar and my beat they ass but they got awesome colors 👍🏼👍🏼❤❤

[@kylemendoza8860]

Would the red jewels mix better with a peacock are mubna tank?

[@whiskeysmoke6500]

Do you have any recommendations for buying peacocks online? Love this video.

[@dustinmatlock]

You should get a marine light

[@WeHateSpurs-_-]

Which ones and how many do you recommend for a 55g tank?

[@WolverineXXX21]

I have a 90 gal peacock tank with A few mbuna I would love to have more types but my local/fav shop gets what they get and other shops have their moments also I tried to purchase online but not too happy with Results but may try again

[@adelfoulani4429]

[@CichlidBros]

They’re stunning fish!

[@albertopepe22]

hi, they connive with koi fish?

[@fne8804]

They looks awesome! How many are in your 75 gal?

[@beat_2008]

Hey can you make a video on how to identify male and female peacocks as well as breeding info. Thanks!

[@stilesslosson7403]

The lemon Jake is about the only peacock I haven't had...what's the temperament? I found my red Jake n otter point Jake could be quite aggressive...I found peacocks are very different in temperament ...my sulfer head was very calm same w my sunshine as my reagel blues n red shoulder n German red peacocks were mean.

[@razinfishes1918]

Looking good Troy. Question I saw a small catfish in your video I couldn't make it out in the video what type of catfish is that? And how large does it get?

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks! I have two Synodontis petricola in there. About 5 years old and ~5 inches

[@mitchellportee150]

I'm wanting to do a 120 gallon peacock tank. What would you recommend ?

[@CichlidBros]

I’d do all males, and a variety of different species

[@robertbailey1175]

How many peacocks can i keep in a 60 gallon aquarium?

[@camski13]

Coming in a little late trying to add some red into my tank which peacock would you say gets there most vibrant red I’m so picky most of them say red but end up being orange

[@CichlidBros]

Dragonblood

[@lots33ml]

Love the video. i have a 75, too, and I'm in the process of getting all my peacocks. I have a lawanda,otter point, lemon,bi-color, flame tail, and german red. I have a red shoulder he's hugh but he lives alone in his own tank because he's a killer. He literally has killed three fish, but he's too beautiful and large to get rid of. I also have other peacocks in my 125. I want to keep some color in that tank with the haps. I right now have ten tanks devoted to what else african chiclids. It was your peacock tank that inspired me. Later bro love your videos. What kind of rock is that looks like tan elephant rock.

[@stevelopynski]

Surprised you didn't include electric blue hap!

[@CichlidBros]

Not a peacock

[@JustDave76]

Great video! How many peacocks would you suggest in a 75 gallon?

[@hasanulislam7029]

Your mother

[@applebtrend3221]

how big is your ngara flametail now? I also have 1, its 7months now in my tank but it seems it is now growing more than 4inches. but it has great color.

[@CichlidBros]

Mine is about 4.5-5 inches currently

[@christianleeperrr7641]

Question 2:46- does the OB’s EVER appear naturally? I’ve seen them, and to me they stick out in a negative way, they don’t look natural like the others, but if they did naturally rarely occur that would be super cool like a golden rainbow trout or something

[@the_zed6098]

Yes they do appear naturally. OBs are a mixture of Mbuna and Peacocks.

[@Soulpsy19]

I have two OB peacocks one pinkish with dark spots, and other is pinkish-red with dark spots, are they rare for real?😂I wish I could share them somehow to get some information!! Thank you anyway you helped me a lot thank you 💜 💜 ✨ ✨

[@anandkajave8643]

I have 40 gallon breeder, what types and how many do you suggest?

[@CichlidBros]

I wouldn’t recommend any peacocks in a 40 gallon long term. There are some mbuna species that could work tho

[@just_Ashess]

Does (peacock bass) count??

[@CichlidBros]

Haha not for this one

[@dedetreek8893]

I love OB peacocks but my gosh, u can get some real nutjobs from them. loool the ones with sharp colours are stunning!!!

[@bayou504ctcL9]

[@daddykiller5835]

Snake River Cichlids is where I bought some of my fish. Check them out.

[@JamesBond-gj9rx]

Impressive malawis, but they have enough spots to hide? Or don't Aulonocaras need any hiding places?

[@CichlidBros]

Thanks. It’s actually the opposite for peacocks, they need open water
