They are still territorial cichlids, particularly as males mature, and should be maintained in a properly sized Lake Malawi aquarium with compatible tankmates.

Peacock Cichlids generally work best with other appropriately selected Peacocks and compatible Lake Malawi cichlids of similar temperament.
