Welcome!
That is completely up to you! I would taste test every 3-5 days until you get the taste you are looking for and bottle.
Something to remember is you might kick off a secondary fermentation so just to be safe I would check the gravity again and make sure your FG is stable before packaging you don't want any bottle bombs!
Hope this helps!

Usually fruit will float to the top when the available sugars have been digested by the yeast...just let the peaches tell you when they're ready.

At least 2 weeks. Let them fully ferment out, or you'll have exploding bottles. After a week or so, take a reading, and then every 3 days afterwards. Once you have a stable reading twice in a row you can safely bottle.
