  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Its a Sunshine Peacock. (Short Name), they are tech High breeds-breed in aquariums. So there is no real Scientific name for them as far as I know. And I have never seen then under another handle.

Thank you-Hes a pleasure to have-really interactive, Always fallows my hand....LOL thinks hand always has food i guess
 
Huh sunshine? Nah it is closer to a strawberry peacock. (Sunshine tend to be Aulonocara sp. "Stuartgranti Maleri", though yah I would guess that a strawberry has some in them.)
 
Really....I have seen then sold as a Sunshine here...So I be more correct to say Fire or Strawbarry....

I like the sound of Fire better...can I pick which one, LOL

For real which one would it be best to reffer as?
so I can correct my knowledge and notes...and POST for that matter.LOL
 
So the firefish tend to be very very red. IE I would say they are the next generation of the strawberry fish that are more like the one you have.

Firefish: http://www.malawi-firefish.de/galerie.php (grabbed link from mike.)

Strawberry: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/720/product.web

Again realize that the name doesn't mean too much since they basically refer to the same hybrid. (Like I said maybe a generation or two breeding difference.)

But the sunshine actually refers to in general the Aulonocara sp. "Stuartgranti Maleri". (Not saying that places like petco/petsmart wont sell anything yellow as a sunshine peacock, but well just saying that sunshine tends to refer to the Maleri.)
 
Oh yeah , I agree with that- and I did mention that I didnt think that there was an actually name due it being a Hy and that it was aquarium created, That I have just always known of them as sunshines...Altho I did know the Aulonocara Maleri which is the Yellow one also had the that HANDLE...

Perhapse I saw the Strawberry as a Sunshine due to a creative ( not really) LFS owner...LOL

And I checked the links. I really agree with the notation of Strewberry- Its nota FireFish at all, and I do believe that is a good claim. that the FF is probly the next gen of the Strewberry.

100%


Thanks guys, this is why I enjoy being here-
