All male show tank

[itsalmosteasy]

I am wanting to set up a 100G all male peacock show tank. Here is a pic of the tank I am doing...

Now I have never kept peacocks and have been doing my research. I am planning on lots of rock work and keeping 6-8 peacocks. The planned fish so far are a Jalo, Baenschi and a German Red. I know I need fish all about the same size and all different colors for this to work. I am sticking with the less aggressive ones too. Is there anything else I should consider when setting up this tank? The dimensions of it are 35"L x 19"W x 34"T.

That will be a difficult tank for peacocks. Floor space is what matters the most.

that tank wont house 1 peacock for very long, like mike said... its all about the footprint

sorry about the bad news bud. I wouldnt recommend less than a 48 inch tank for Peacocks. Tank looks good, it would make a fantastic Angel or Discus tank though.

Agreed with Mike.

That's what I was afraid of.

It is a neat tank, I sure you can find someone who is into salt tanks or planted tanks to swap you a tnak

No I'm keeping the tank. It's goin where it is sitting. I will find something showy to put in it

Nice tank,
Peacocks do like swimming room as well as floor space.
Angels love the height.
