From what I can tell she still has her gray bars on her side. If she is 2.5-3 inches then she is not going to color up anymore than what her fins have colored up already...Still a nice looking fish. Would love to see a male from that brood...

i saw 2 that look a little like yours, but i dont know if they could be or not-i dont keep peacocks and know almost nothing about them.. look at these--

heres the first one: http://cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=650 does yours have the yellow eggspots like this one does on the bottom fin?i cant tell..

and heres another one: http://cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=1385 that looks a little like yours but im not so sure..

hope this helps point you in the right direction a little!
