Some advice needed from the more experienced peacock breeders in this forum.
I am looking to start a breeding project to produce some decent quality Aulonocara Jacobfreibergi. Sourcing quality adult females locally has turned out to be a non-runner. So I've picked up 10 juveniles unsexed (and unsure of the quality of these pieces) and am hoping to get 3 or more females from this group to kick off the project.
So this is my starting point.
10 x Jacobfreibergi juveniles unsexed.
2 x* Adult male Jacobfreibergi (nice quality from a different source).
My thinking is that breeding the females from this group of juveniles with one of the 2 nice adult males should improve the quality of the next generation. Would this be correct?
How many generations can I breed from the same male?
Is it bad practice to breed males with females of the same batch?
Any tips or ideas would be appreciated as this is my first venture into breeding peacocks.
Thanks
