Need Help!!!

[cjf]

I picked up this guy from my LFS, I know it's a peacock. What I'm looking for is, what kind of peacock is it?

 

[squirrilah fish]

Looks like a sunshine benga, or Jacobfreibei yellow jake,

Or could be a chitande turquoise.

How big is it?
Sunshine Benga is my guess.

It's about 3 1/2 inches long, my other peacocks are giving him a hard time today.

Actually, looking at the anal fin, it's a Aulonocara chitande

There's a few different types of chitande's depending on location.

I'm thinking a turquoise, or masinje type.

Very rare find, very cool, and yes, will be a subdominant fish.

My guess was a benga lol, thanks squirrelah

I had one once upon a time, and one day he just disappeared.

 

[cjf]

Wow, that had to suck

 

[squirrilah fish]

Ya he was still pretty small, and I had been slacking on my maintenance.

 

[cjf]

Ohh! I do weekly maintenance.

Definitely having a case of pick on the new fish, he's getting bullied!

 

[squirrilah fish]

Ya me too, but I missed like 3 weeks, and he disappeared.

That's pretty normal, usually lasts 1-3 days. Then they chill out, generally. I have fish fighting over dominance right now. It's frustrating.
