| Yes! I like those also, I don't think I have seen any yellow peacocks actualy but they seem to hold many ideal traights I would love some of those. I do like electric yellows also. | |

| oh yes. those.
Hey, I have another need of opinion... I want to put a cory cay type fish in with my 6 jewels in a 55 gal tank to clean up the floor, is that a bad idea? i hate to sentence the poor fellow a life of getting hit butt kicked. | |

| I think your stock choices are a bit aggressive for cory cats. | |

| I have Cory Cats in with my Turquoise Jewels and they get along just fine. I have some "low lying " slate pieces for them to go under in the day light .My cory were in the tank before the Jewels so maybe that is why they get along . I also have cories in with my Carolina Swallowtail Peacocks . | |

| hmmm... so maybe it will work... maybe i should take a cory from my other tank and drop him in to see if he gets along before i buy new ones.... or would that be a bad idea? is it bad to mix fish from tanks for fear of spreading something unknown? | |

| that is a matter of opinion . Some say yes , some say no . Personally i move my fish around a lot . But then I know my fish are healthy . I never introduce new fishes until they have spent at least 3 weeks in a QT . | |
