getting another species!

[cluster]

yesterday i purchased some peacocks from aquabid.com...... they are Lwanda Peacocks....1M (Show) and 2F proven breeding pair (supposly) and they are starting out in my 29G breeder setup i have...but to make it worth it i need to buy more fish! the shipping is $64 for the fish (3 for $72) i might get a bottom feeder for my 75G Lake Tang. tank...... wuld love a angel catfish fromt he sydno. genus

here is one of the males (not sure if its the actual fish)

iwas thinking to make it worth i was going to get 2 juvenile burundi 6-strip frontosas to add into my 75G i currently have 1 2" juvenile,3x 3" burundi fronts (2M 1F) and my big 8" burundi front.....and yes i know this is TFF ill put it out in advance these grow big! and a big tank is in there near future......

due to the juveniles from fishcollectors being very small they might have to grow in my malawi tank till they reach 2.5" ....1"-1.5" is considered food

Nice fish! I personally feel 29 gallons is not offering these guys enough space, but it has been done in the past and should work.

1M (Show) and 2F proven breeding pair (supposly)

These guys are not pairing fish. Females live in schoals (in the wild) while males will live solitarily and will mate with any female willing to.
