Keeping two peacocks with frontosa
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2025 3:38 pm
I just had to move my two surviving fish to my 120 gallon frontosa tank after the heater in my 70 gal tank died. The water was freezing, and it killed everything except these two peacocks - they must be incredibly resilient. The frontosas have been the sole occupants of this tank for three years, along with a couple of smaller compressiceps. I was really hesitant to introduce the peacocks, but so far everything seems fine. One thing I've noticed, though, is my fronts darting around more than usual - I'm not sure if it's the peacocks or just me spending more time near the tank.
I'm pretty sure the peacocks are Aulonocara, but I'm no expert. The guy at the fish store said they're one of the more peaceful peacock species, but I have no idea if that's true. So, should I keep the peacocks or find them a new home?
