jamie2548 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hey everyone. I purchased a largish peacock yesterday from LFS about 12 cm. ( I liked the color) and he seems to have immediately tried to stage dominance on all the other fish.(all fish are of equal size) Do I presume that he was in a tank by himself at the LFS that he was a problem maker? The only fish he doesn't try anything on is the fronnies. Dont know if I should return him or not. Do you think he will settle down? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maingano is probably the calmest one out of the entire tank! My wife likes him to much to get rid of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
