Tank Size:

A minimum of 55 gallons is recommended, with larger tanks preferred for multiple fish.

Temperature: 76-82°F (24-28°C). 

pH: 7.8-8.6, maintaining an alkaline environment.

Substrate and Aquascape:

Use a fine sand or smooth gravel substrate with plenty of rockwork to create caves and hiding places, mimicking their natural habitat. 

Filtration:

Good filtration is crucial due to their messy eating habits. 

Diet:

A varied diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, supplemented with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and spirulina, is ideal. 

Tank Mates:

Best kept with other peacocks and Haplochromis species of similar size and temperament. Avoid overly aggressive Mbuna cichlids. 

Breeding:

Ngara Flametail Peacocks are maternal mouthbrooders, meaning the females incubate the eggs in their mouths. Provide caves or flat rocks to encourage spawning.
