Hi I'm not sure what type of peacock this one is but I could use a little help. Also I think it's a female!! Anyone able to sex it from pictures? Well here's a few shots.

I'd say it's a sub dominant eureka red peacock. I have one quite similar. Male for sure.
 
I think it's a female she is breeding in my male only tank and I noticed no spots on the anal fin ?! Does that mean female??

the one in pics is male, pretty sure. However what about the tail pictured in pic #2 that one could be female?
 
Well to my surprise she is matting with one of my big males. She must be some super coloured female of some kind. I know I have never seen a female that colourful before! So once she is holding ill know 100% for sure and I think it will be soon cause they're doing it as soon as the lights go out they dance!!

Males do a show of dominance that appears like they're mating. That is a male 100%

Ok well than that will explain a few things! I was not aware that males did that to other males! I hope your right! :)
