Special requirements
Curved Snout Profile
Unique among Peacocks for its noticeably steeper and more curved snout profile, which is the key identifying feature in the trade.
Fine Sand Substrate
Mandatory for natural benthophagous sifting behavior. Coarse gravel can damage sensitive gill filaments and the sensory pores used for hunting.
Water Parameter Stability
Extremely susceptible to swings in water chemistry and deteriorating quality. Requires over-filtration and consistent 30-50% weekly water changes.
Harem Ratio
Best kept in a ratio of 1 male to 4-6 females to manage courtship aggression and prevent stress on individual females.
