  • My Top 10 Favorite Peacock Cichlids! We have a wide variety of cichlids, from African to American cichlids, and in today's video, I compiled a list of my current favorite peacock cichlids from Lake Malawi.
    - African Cichlid Playlist: • All About African Cich...
    We love all of our fish that we keep, but some definitely standout due to their color or personalities. This list is ever-changing, but we think this is a solid top 10!

    The lemon Jake is about the only peacock I haven't had...what's the temperament? I found my red Jake n otter point Jake could be quite aggressive...I found peacocks are very different in temperament ...my sulfer head was very calm same w my sunshine as my reagel blues n red shoulder n German red peacocks were mean.

    Love the video. i have a 75, too, and I'm in the process of getting all my peacocks. I have a lawanda,otter point, lemon,bi-color, flame tail, and german red. I have a red shoulder he's hugh but he lives alone in his own tank because he's a killer. He literally has killed three fish, but he's too beautiful and large to get rid of. I also have other peacocks in my 125. I want to keep some color in that tank with the haps. I right now have ten tanks devoted to what else african chiclids. It was your peacock tank that inspired me. Later bro love your videos. What kind of rock is that looks like tan elephant rock.

    Question
    2:46- does the OB’s EVER appear naturally? I’ve seen them, and to me they stick out in a negative way, they don’t look natural like the others, but if they did naturally rarely occur that would be super cool like a golden rainbow trout or something

    • @the_zed6098
      @the_zed6098 Před 8 měsíci

      Yes they do appear naturally. OBs are a mixture of Mbuna and Peacocks.
