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.
