Below is a peacock I purchased for $2.00 out of a "assorted africans" tank at a LFS about 6 months ago. He was about 2' at that time with little color. He actually had tiger oscars in the tank with him that were twice his size. I guess I kind of felt sorry for him as he was pretty torn up. I think it was a good catch as he is blooming now on a steady varied diet and has his own section of a divided tank. Question is, can anyone point me in the direction of where to buy 3-4 females as I do want to breed this species. I live in the southern California area.Thanks!

Thats one beautiful specimen! You definetly want to breed it. I've just picked up some fry, so hopefully will get some nice males which get as colourful as yours!

Thanks for the kind words! I got lucky when I bought him as I did not even know what he was!

Your best bet is buy some small (1") unsexed Aulonocara Baenschi from some one who breeds them and grow them out and sell/trade the males if you don't want them. Its rare to see females for sale.

Thanks. Thats probably the best thing to do as I do have a some time. He's only about 3.5 to 4' right now.
