ok well i have had a male and female peacock for a while now and they never seemed to be interested in each other. i went away for the weekend and came back to what i thought would be all very hungry fish. well i fed them and watched them all eat like usual but the female didnt come. so i took a closer look and it appears that there is a bulg in her mouth so i think she is finally spawning. i will geta pic later. i just thought i would spread the good news.
 
i forget the kind it is. i got a pic of her though. i will take a pic of the male tonight to hopefully. i have 2 males and only 1 female so i have 2 possible fathers. they are both very very similiar though. this is the best pic i could get of her casue she is hiding alot.

looks like it.
should be able to see her swishing them around when she opens her mouth.

all the best with them..

not sure exactly how old but i bought her about 4 months ago. she is about 2 - 3 inches. she is pretty well rounded. she seems to have bulked up before she took on the eggs. i am going to let her spit in the main tank the first few times to let her get used to breeding then i will try getting her out. i hope everything goes well :)

Regardless of how much traffic a forum receives, this is a double post.

is there a way to tell who the father is? will he be hanging near the female more? chasing others away? i would like to know because i think the bottom one is the same species as the female and the other one i just got given to me from someone who had alot from breeding. i will work on better pictures of them . i prefer to take the picture without the flash so u get the real colours.
