The Sunburst Peacock is considered generally to be semi aggressive but does lean toward the aggressive side when it has staked out its territory and is defending it. This fish is very bright and is a nice contrast to many other Malawi cichlids. As an omnivore, it will eat a wide variety of foods, and is very easy to maintain.
