4'' ruby red peacok

[selki]

i have a 4'' ruby red trio in my 75g with 15 3-4'' clown loaches...i dont see any agression towards the loaches but will it be ok for the male to live with the loaches? Thanks

Thats a beautiful african, is it a male? I dont like mixing africans with other fish, but the loaches should be fine.

ive got 1 male and 2 females in the 75g with the loaches...they seem to be fine...hope it stays that way.

Awesome, maybe they will breed if you keep the water good and have sand or flat surfaces.. They should be fine... If something happens, I would be shocked.

ive had lemon jakes breed got about 10 fries. they bred when they were with th ruby red and other various cichlids... funny...but it did happen.

best not to breed peacocks in same tanks, can never be sure on the fry. Now Loaches do like the type of water Africans like. What is your water params? The loaches can have serious health issue in hard high ph water.

Ditto... Are you adding salts or buffer to the tank?
