The term peafowl can refer to the two species of bird in the genus Pavo of the pheasant family, Phasianidae. The African Congo Peafowl is placed in its own genus Afropavo and is not dealt with here. Peafowl are best known for the male's extravagant tail, which it displays as part of courtship. The male is called a peacock, and the female a peahen, although it is common to hear the female also referred to as a "peacock" or "female peacock". The female peafowl is brown or toned grey and brown. Its young is called a peachick. The two species are:

Q. I've heard around that it is possible to keep an all male malawi peacock cichlid tank without the males always fighting...apparently, males with only fight with other males that have similar colors, but if the colors are diverse enough, they won't bother eachother... is this true? for example: based on what ive heard, a male sunshine peacock(yellow with blue face) wont fight with a male German red Peacock?

Since I have responded to your latter question and know your plan, I would say this, as it relates to the other answer. Breeding would be your hinge point. If you going to breed them, you need isolation tanks if you want fry to make it. If breeding is not on your mind go with an all male tank. If breeding is on the mind, you have isolation tanks, then stay with one species only to eliminate potential cross breeds. Spotting males isn't hard, it's the females of different species can be challenging. Dull and drab with no color, looks can often be mistaken from one species to another, even by the fish themselves.
