So...got some new fish

[Katie217]

Got some new guys from the LFS today...
Ones an OB peacock, and the other is a "royal" peacock...i need to get the "royal" properly ID'd of course...the OB is a bit larger 1.5-2 inches, the royal is small, just an inch. both are males I THINK...(gonna need Matt's opinion)
Ill get pics later...maybe tonight or tomorow! The "royal" is really pretty, might go back tomorow and get the other 2 in the sale tank.
Oh I also got a rubber lip pleco...they are so cute *twirlysmi

Pics to come!! *celebrate *SUPERSMIL

since you told me to post something nice... i wont.

clean your glass and tun off the flash! haha. nice pics though. naet fish.

IMO your "royal" cichlid isnt a peacock at all but a hap. looks to me to be a Copadichromis borleyi. very neat fish if you ask me but can grow quite large about 8in max. IME not a mean fish pretty docile mine left the other tankmates alone.

Joker beat me to it! Looks like a Copadichromis borleyi to me too. And the other, yes it is a OB peacock...sex, i can't tell from those pics.

 

[Katie217]

yep, does look like a Copadichromis borleyi, the store had them labeled as "royal auloncarna" or however u spell that
thanks

Katie I must say your close up pics are really good. Congrats on the new fish. I got some new tank mates too but that will have to wait.

MAHA

 

[Katie217]

thanks, it was weird, normally my camera just BLOWS but last night it decided to be good to me

 

[joker1857]

well the borleyi is deffinetly a male the females are just a bland silver/brown color. but as for the ob peacock there really isnt anyway to tell IMO.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

At least not without seeing a full body shot, that will give us at least a first guess.
