Well, my dad got me 2 "surprises" for my auratus tank, 2 bicolour peacocks. Needless to say, within 2 hours the auratus killed one of the peacocks, and the other one was badly nipped, and I saved him by throwing him in my 120, the water in the two tanks is the same (the 120 is probably cleaner). Anyways, he seems to be recovering, but now I really have no place for him, considering what happened in the 55. The 120 is well-stocked, with 2 severums, a common pleco, an ornate bichir and a small shoal of silver dollars. Will the peacock become pushy with any of those fish? They're all mostly grown except the ornate, who's about 6". It's certainly a nice quality fish, I doubt I'd have any real problems selling it if it's a terrible idea, I figure you guys might know their behavior with non-conspecifics? My primary concern is the bichir eating the peacock or the peacock going after the severums. Thoughts?
