GreekStylez Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi All, I want to maintain a nice display setup in my bedroom. As a result of the limited space, I have been reduced to choosing a 2 1/2 foot tank with cabinet and hood as my only option. Currently I have a gold spotted gibbiceps, and a gold plecostomus at approx the 12cm mark, with a piece of driftwood for them to rasp on. The tanks dimensions are 30 x 14 x 18 and am running two filters, an eheim 2213, and an aqua clear 200, along with a dual air stone pump. Since I want a nice colourful tank, and really would like malawi peacocks, what are my options? What species would colour nicely? Would the aggression be ovewrwhelming for a tank of this size? Would i be better off putting a colony of hongies or maingano's? PLEASE HELP. Thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimbo Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 i have a similar sized tank. i kept a trio plus some young fish of electric yellows. the main reason that i was able to do this was i had about 2 buckets full of river rocks about the size of small rockmelons. i had them piled in one rear corner to the front, half way accros the back and almost to the surface of the water. i don't think i explained that very well but hopefully you understand. this way there was plenty of places for females and youngsters to hide or have a break from the male. you could probally get away with a similar set up and could keep a trio of most of the pecocks which are a bit smaller. hope this helps James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kram Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 If you live any where near Baitmans Bay, go to shallow crossing during low tide, get all the river stone you want (any size, all rounded). Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
