thank you garfy! i knew ud be there to help out
did u get the female in the end? x

 

[garfy]

No I haven't got her yet but when I find her on my travels one day I will probably buy her.Would love to see them breed

Soooooooo many fry at one time. I read up to like 250 or something crazy. I think the one my lfs has is a female, it's probably 5 or 6 inches long and still silver colored. I think itd probably be better to buy them smaller anyways

 

[garfy]

That's definitely a female if it's still silver at that size.The males colour up long before they reach that size.
I say go for it you won't be disappointed

 

[garfy]

Your sunshine peacock is an awesome looking fish fantastic colour.I have 4 juvies of this type and one is just starting to colour up nicely

 

[Bully405Customz]

Thank you! He's not so vivid these days. He really hasn't been the same since he lost his eye.

 

[garfy]

That's a shame did you think of getting another some day ?

 

[Bully405Customz]

No, not another sunshine. I want some more peacocks but I think I'm just gonna keep the ones i have then add the eye biters instead of more peacocks. I already have a Taiwan reef, sunshine, firefish and blue regal males(one of each). Do you have plants with you eye biter?

 

[garfy]

I only have plastic plants as he tends to shred real plants.Have a look on my profile pics he's on there and so are pictures of my tank

 

[Bully405Customz]

Nice tank! I'm excited about the eye biters. I hope mine looks like yours. Oh are those cichlid stones? I'm thinking about getting some.

 

[garfy]

Yes they are cichlid stones bought them online.my fish love them.Gives the smaller fish somewhere to hide if they want and my catfish love them.

 

[tiger terror]

Is this a johanni or dolfin?

 

[garfy]

It's definitely not a dolphin

 

[Bully405Customz]

Looks almost like an afra of sorts.

 

[Bully405Customz]

I'm probably wrong though. Haha

 

[Italy592]

[Bully405Customz]

Wow! That would be a first for me. I always guess but someone else is always right. Lol I Just like guessing.
