Marbled Peacock cichlid is a very popular hybrid species. They are relatively peaceful that we recommend for any peacock cichlid tank. This stunning peacock is not native in the lake but a man created hybrid. We at Coburg Aquarium stock a huge selection of aquarium fish online.
The Marbled peacock is a very active fish that needs a tank that is at least 100 liters and around 4 feet minimum length. The tank should have more horizontal than vertical space.

Peacock cichlids can peacefully share a tank with fish species that thrive in the same water conditions. Don’t house peacock cichlids with aggressive fish species like betta fish, tiger barbs, and most other cichlid species.
Great tank mates for Cichlid include:
Coburg Aquarium, specialised in different species of live fish.
A quality cichlid pellet, cichlid flakes that sinks to the bottom of the tank should be the foundation of their diet along with supplements of meat and vegetables. Live insects that sink to the bottom are also good, as are live or frozen cichlid food, brine shrimp and Daphnia, or common water fleas.

Filters are preferable. These fish can take a decent current, so almost any filtration system will work.
These tropical fish will need warmer water, so a heater is required. A thermometer is also recommended to ensure the temperature is correct.
Artificial lighting is recommended, cichlids may like a system that dims or can be customized to match their native habitat.
Live plants are a great idea. You should choose only hardy plants because peacock cichlids have a habit of digging and disturbing foliage.
