Stay with it, small peacocks are tough, make sure you keep your water high, for little ones like that you could easily keep it at 83-85 degrees with no problem what so ever. Make sure you feed them a ton, I feel that peacocks are fragile up until they get to be about 6" in length. Once they get over a foot in length they become bullet proof.

Yeah the water temp is in the mid to upper 80s. It's in my garage which is in the upper 90s right now. I've got a heater in there for the nights to make sure the temp stays above 82. They've also been wrecking cichlid gold which makes me very happy. Except for the one little guy who refuses to eat pellets... He's still only on blood worms. But I've got some massivore powder left over from the bag that I'm going to mix in with his blood worms to hopefully get him on to pellets. He mouthes it, but just spits it right back out.
