What peacocks would I select as my top picks when starting an African Cichlid aquarium? If I wanted an all African cichlid peacock tank, which fish would be my 5 top picks? One of you asked for my suggestions on stocking a new 150 gallon with African cichlid peacocks. Here are my suggestions. I hope that you enjoy this video and certainly share in the comments any fish that you think should have been on the list.

Don't miss the short bonus video at the end.
