Whew, those peacock cichlids are so stunning! But they're also very expensive. I have a 75g available and ultimately I'd love to see at least a dozen big beautiful African cichlids in there. So tell me if this is is crazy or not: start with a breeding group of little guys, say 1.5", of something like the peacock ob or dragon blood/firefish. Grow them out in that 75, breed them, grow those out a bit, sell everything except my favorite male, then stock all the other ones I want. If the young adults can't be with the fry, maybe sell them as soon as they produce fry, and I'll keep one of the babies for myself.
I'm going to assume it's not realistic but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case. I don't know how y'all afford to stock these tanks.
