aquariumlover10 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 ok, but they should be compatible right? I would defiantly get more rainbows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasshalffull Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Is it a peacock bass or something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyok Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 The Bosemani rainbow is a good choice. The peacock cichlid will want higher ph and hard water which bosemani rainbows are well suited to. Not are rainbows like high ph dwarf neon rainbow prefer slightly acidic water. Check out the temperature and ph requirements for each of your fish. If the peacock is the centerpiece look for fish that do well in higher ph water. kvnsu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
