are you talking about african peacocks(aulonocara sp.) if so i have never heard of any being caled marigold peacocks. They also do go very well with the fish you already have blue acaras,jewel cichlids since i think they need different water.

I keep african peacocks and they need hard water with high pH. They can be fairly aggresive even though they are considered tame for africans.

I would look through some species profiles at www.cichlid-forum.com they have lots of really nice pictures.

Of course this is only if your fish is an african peacock, if it is somethign different then ignore me

ok i looked around some more and found a website that mentions marigold peacocks. http://www.adelaideaquariums.com.au/faqs/freshwater/fish/africich/peacockvar.html look under where they talk about albinos. It seems taht marigold describes a variation of an albino peacock or hybrid.
