Wingin' It Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 keep up on your water quality (changes), feed a variety of foods, NLS is usually recommended. Maybe buy a couple more femles, the male will love to breed with several females! LOL and will want to show off his 'stuff'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREGMAN Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hello i have two OB Peacocks 1 male and 1 female that i just bought. I would like to add more to my tank but i would like to know how i can make there colors come out. I have them in a 72 gallon bowfront tank with 7 other cichlids all mbuna. I would also like to try and breed them in there anything i could do to help them breed? Competition. 1 male with 3-6 females. The female OB will color up anyway. If the male has another sub-dominant male in there he will strut his colors even more. Fresh 20% water changes every week or 2 and NLS food. Don`t worry when they start to breed they will be coming out your ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLake Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 mbuna tend to surpress peacocks colors, the ob;s being only half peacock should color up based on the lust for the ladies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galeas Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 i found that as soon as i added 3 female O.B's my male colored up drastically in the next week. O.B's are beautiful fish and i hope yours show their colors soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
