Here are a few pics of a tank they had at the tennessee aquarium. There was an awesome display with about 15 peacocks, several silver dollers, pirranaha's, and a few severums. If you are ever in the area it is a must see. They have a lot of awesome biotope displays.

those are some beautiful monos.. i wonder what they feed them...
 
p.s. anyone else see that they have 4 bars ;)
 
They said that they feed some sort of live fish that I had never heard of along with a constant supply of silver dollars. She said they add about 20 silver dollars every week on top of what they are feeding them. All of the peacocks were between 12-16 inches.
 
Very nice jgentry! Me and my wife are going in Dec. Gonna try and borrow my friends Nikon since I'm too cheap to buy a decent camera, LOL

Thanks for posting:)
 
Those look like wild caught too. The jet black dorsal is sweet.
 
You won't be dissappointed titansfever83. They don't have a tank for every biotope, but they have a bunch of them. If your a fish geek you can easily spend 5-6 hours in that place. It was funny, everyone was staying at the saltwater tanks while I was spending hours staring at the north american sunfish, central american biotope (tons of jags, midas, RD's, and dovi's), and south american setups.
