Special requirements

  • Fine Sand Substrate

    Crucial for benthophagous sifting. Coarse gravel can damage the enlarged sensory pores on the head or be ingested, causing internal damage.

  • Pristine Water Stability

    Extremely susceptible to waste buildup. Requires heavy filtration and consistent 30-50% weekly water changes.

  • Harem Ratio

    Stock 1 male with 4-6 females to dissipate courtship aggression. Males are territorial and should generally be the only peacock of their color pattern in the tank.
