Thanks for the warm welcome. Size wise i would love to run up to 150 g and have the room all depends on what stands i can find. Would love to do a planted tank but i think that will be in the future and i will probably start with a 65g for that. seems to be quite the challenge to balance the needs of fish and plants. that being said I'm defiantly up to it  Do you have a preference on pet stores in Edmonton i think i have been to just about all of them in the last month. As you say very hit and miss on the types of fish available. even equipment seems to be tough. glad to hear there is an opportunity to find quality fish locally or through online ordering.

First if you decide to go with peacocks, african cichlids, no plants, LAke Malawi is rocks and sand,

Second if you start with a 65 gallons tank ( 4' long) you can have a very nice show tank all males.

I would say in 65 gallons between 20 to 25 peacocks of different species will be very nice and full of colors.

I agree with MBOOKER,

Show tank all males peacocks, even some peaceful haps, would look great. If you go only peacocks I'd 15 is a nice number.

If you want to mix peacocks and haps, I would say 10,as the haps get a bit bigger than peacocks.
