So this is interesting, had a female Peacock spit her eggs before I left on vacation. And while cleaning the tank found the sole survivor pictured. Immediately transferred to the small tank with sponge filtration. Cute lil' small fry, huh,,,

Very cool. Nice metal frame tank to. What kind of peacocks are they? were you trying to breed or did it just happen.
 
Thank you, believe it or not the tank is over 50 years old, has the original sealant and doesn't leak a drop. It was a mini reef, see pic below. Parent fish for the little small fry were a B. Johanni and a Petsmart Peacock. I'll post a video of them to You Tube including a close up of the little hybrid... Please check back... If you look very close at the third pic you can see the little guy directly under the square sponge filter... The others are Yellow Labs... They were hatched in the tank, then I took the Momma fish out.

I believe it I had a 10 gallon like that when i was a kid. I got rid of it when I got the new "cool" frameless tanks. Wish I still have the metal one.
