Hi there,

a few pictures of my peacocks "Azul". in 2011, I begun with a group of Amarillo Tucunaré (Cichla kelberi), but they turned out to eat every single pray in the tank... at that time, I had also "small" cichlids as Pterophyllum altum, Heros, Uaru and Geophagus... which was a very bad idea... So I sold them out and focused on "big fish" :

Stingrays, Arowana, Astronotus, Panaque, Acanthicus and... Peacocks... Blue peacocks...

March 2018, 7 to 9 cm...

May 2018, after 2 months in a growing tank : around 15 cm

shrimps, mussels, calamar, octopussy, smelts and also green peas... a bit of sturgeon pellets too, even if they don't eat them, the stingrays do.

and during summer, quite a lot of "native prey fish" as Phoxinus, Scardinus, chub and every fish I can legally fish in my alpine rivers.
