That's an awesome tank, awesome fish and awesome shots :D Really love the way it looks and I love all the different colors u have going in there. Also IMHO I like the 3 rocks together as one large rock better. Even if u don't add fake plants. I've been personally thinking about getting a peacock tank like that since forever. If you don't mind and if you know all the names could you tell me what's your stock list?

Thanks you! I'll be adding more Peacocks and Haps in the next few weeks now that I have a larger tank. :naughty:
 
I got him off of aquabid. The little guy grew up quick, he was the smallest in the tank...now hes as big and bigger than some of the others.





I just ordered some more peacock / hap males :naughty::

Peacocks
Masoni
Sulfur Head
Some hybrid; it looks similar to my bicolor

Haps
Yellow Blaze
Mbenji
Ericotaenia
Livingstonii
Insignus
Star Sapphire


Theyre being sent overnight on Thursday so I'll try and get some pics of the new guys this weekend. :) Fingers crossed they all make it in this cold weather.

Nice, you picked out some awesome cichlids...can't wait to see your new fish man :)

& how do you know you're buying off someone trusted or not on aquabid?

Petsmart. I had a 15% off coupon so that helped, theyre $50 a piece. I went though many different types of real rock but none had the look I wanted so I though Id give these fake rocks a try. I like them and my fish seem to like them so it works for me! :)

Thanks! Well I only bought the one fish from aquabid. I bought 3 of my peacocks from my LFS and the rest from livefishdirect. My LFS always has nicely colored haps and peacocks but they come with a nice price tag of $40-$50 too. I went by there Wednesday just to check what he had in stock and I left with a Taiwan Reef LOL.

Ive dealt with livefishdirect three times over the past year and they have always sent me healthy / nice looking fish. Their shipping is $30 for overnight, you cant beat that if youre going to be buying multiple fish that are hard to find all at once. Heres what they sent me today. :naughty: I tried to get some pictures but these little guys are too fast so I took a quick video instead. I cant wait until they get bigger and start to color up!! Dont mind the blue net, I forgot to take it out before making the video.
