how does a female peacock have color?

This one is albino..and i have been told she is a peacock by another expert..he was explaining that these fish were bred in the far east intentionally to look like a taiwan reef. female albino...they're may be some truth to that..She is either peacock albino or Taiwan reef albino..and of course this leaves me up in the air as far as getting a male for her..i just may get a few babies..and grow them up.

The peacock is a hybrid. Most likely what they call the Sunburst/Pink/Strwaberry Peacock. They have nice bright colors as Juvi and fade somewhat as an adult.

It is possible that this is a female even with color, only way to tell for sure is to vent it.

It is definitly a female ..what i needed info on was the other two.. thanks

The yellow ones look more like male kenyi to me... and the peacock's a peacock of course... IME, the reds never show a hint of striping. I've bred them myself.

I wish i never had the peacockvsTaiwan reef female in pic :ROFL:I need to know the yellow ones.. although definitly appreciate all the info on Peacock/Taiwan reef female too.. is she definitly a hybrid... although i do not intend to breed her anymore since i cannot be absolutely certain at the present time.
