First off Oscars and Peacocks in the same sentence is in No way the same at all it could help aid in the mechanics of breeding but really two different spectrum's of the breeding regimen..

At any rate Peacocks will start to breed around the 3" mark in size or longer each cichlid is different in styles of breeding some can go early or later..

3 inches in my experience is appropriate
