I understand the allure of a big colorful peacock tank but I don't really like it all that muchBeen thinking of changing one of my 125s over to a all male Peacock tank ... seriously thinking it over.... lol
I mean yeah they're colorful but to me it seems kinda out of place
I like male peacocks/haps kept singular or with their own species, cuz the latter tends to bring out more of the color and behavior of the fish. I know people buy specific species of peacocks for male hap community tanks because they want to see that fish along with other fish, but I prefer being able to always see the fish I want, doing its thing unobstructed
Plus there's the whole dominance heirarchy in tanks like that and some fish end up not coloring up etc
Lone male peacocks color up pretty well too, and they can turn out to be pretty personable
Not saying it's a bad idea per se, just saying I like being closer to specific fish that I want to see at their best
