29 gallon peacock tank

[nterry]

Hi,

i have a half dozen peacocks in a 29 gallon tank. They are only about three inches now. Is this a good number? I am thinking of moving them to a 40 breeder--should I plan on getting a few more after the move. The move should happen in 2-3 months once the stand gets built.

thanks,,

too small. Peacocks are free swimmers and cruise around the tank. Can you go with a 55 or larger?

Peacocks need a lot of room, otherwise they'll start fighting.

Just my opinion but if you can.... get a bigger tank!
55 gallon bare minimum....
Remember they will get bigger.
If you are planning for a 40. why not just plan for a 55 or however larger you are able to go.

This is a 3 year old post. That person may not even have Peacocks or a 29gal, or even a tank anymore.
