Welcome to the site!

You actually have Peacocks in your tank, huh? Those fish get huge....you'll need a 300g in a short time and even bigger beyond that. I thought they were illegal to sell?

I'm not sure what you meant by "1 cycle complete"....can you explain? Also, have you tested your water for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate? When was the last time you did a water change? Can you post a pic?

Im in Florida, they sell them and live in south florida.
Im planning on a bigger tank when they get bigger. this one was free, but has cost alot after the fact.
1 cycle means I got the water to my first acceptable range tested 0 amonia, nitrites
acceptable nitrates. per the local fish store.
No water change yet as the water just tested "ok" friday 21st.
Just moved the peacocks in yesterday, monday. and they have white spots(poss ick) on their fins. 1 had spots when I bought them
