Go ahead and seal it up.

My cory is an albino, his friend died about a month ago, I had them both for about 2 years, he seems to be happy, he hangs with the upside down and pictus cats.

As far as i know all peacocks are peaceful. And from what i was told from the site i ordered from, an all male tank is actually more peaceful then a tank with females in it. My peacocks consist of:

2 eureka red jakes
2 Baenschi
Albino Rubescens
Rubescens
Blue Orchid
Red Top Llwanda
Blue Neon Chiwindi
Fire Fish Dragon Blood
Ngara Flametail (mdoka yellow)
Ngara Flametail Orange
OB Peacock
Usisya Flacescent
Yellow Collar
2 Unknown Peacocks
Yellow Blaze (zimbawe Rock)
Borleyi Mbenji
Borleyi Yellow Tail

My ebjd is my buddy too. They are awesome fish. I would not mix the peacocks with your ebjd. They don't do well with stress. If I were you I would set up the 90 gal as a african tank foryour new fish. If your Jack is happy don't mess with his home.

You need to rehome your cory. corys need to be in a shoal of at least 6. Your tanks doesn't sound too corys friendly I suggest you rehome him.

I don't get why people like cory's so much. I was thinking of getting like 8 of them at PetSmart because they are on sale for $1.99 each

What's so cool about them?

No I have not, all I see them do is sit there and occasionally move around to find some food.

ya i mean really i dont see the big fuss about them, sure they are cute little things, just like all fish, but really they just sit there. I would rather a golden nugget or a high end pleco instead. But in all honesty i have cory's because they clean up really well.

Nice ebjd good color looks a bit like mine. He looks bigger then 3". How long have you had him? What do you feed yours? I named mine sparkle and he is my #1 cichlid also 3" including his tail. I got his a few months ago and he has grown and colored up alot since I got him. Keep an ege on him you dont what him to get stressed out. African cichlids are not the best tank mates for a ebjd but I guess it could work.

As for Cory cats they are cute and fun to watch. They are good at cleaning the fallen food. But you need to feed them their own food. It's fun to watch them sift in the sand. They are cute and fun that's why we love Cory cats. No other fish is like them.

Mine is named blue. lol. I just named it that say i can yell "your my boy BLUE!" (old school) I feed mine omega one cichlid flakes morning and night. Then he gets spirulana pellets around 3 o clock, and at night time the flakes along with pellets (i switch every night between shrimp pellets, krill pellets, and oscar grow pellets) Then on saturdays it is blood worms or live guppies. Now this isn't just for him this is what i feed my tank but he isn't a shy eater so he usually gets some of all. But in response to getting stressed, he actually has darkened up since i have swithced to peacocks which is a good sign.
I am pretty sure he is three inches, when he comes to the glass to see my i try to measure him and he is right at three inches measuring that way.
