Because of this, no two OB Peacocks look exactly alike. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOB Peacocks are generally less aggressive than many Mbuna, but they are still territorial African cichlids, especially as males mature. They do best in spacious Lake Malawi-style aquariums with other Peacocks and appropriately selected African cichlids of similar size and temperament. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Aggressive \/ Territorial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurchase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 5–6 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55 gallons recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–82°F\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5–8.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–25 dGH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Captive-bred hybrid; ancestry from Lake Malawi cichlids \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide a sand substrate, rockwork and caves for territories, visual barriers, and plenty of open swimming space.
