Finally, color on my peacock!

[Rawimpact]

I've been waiting a long time for my peacocks to start showing some color. Well, i consider this an early christmas present. I turned on my lights in my room to find this little 3'' peacock showing color while sleeping (must have had an erotic dream heh). I was surprised to find orange/black fins, i've never seen that.

Enjoy!

Looks kind of like one to me too but I wasn't sure.

Starting to look very good, wait until the banding goes away and he starts looking like my avatar. Fryeri are one of the main reasons I still actually keep malawi cichlids.

peacock are slow to color, and females show little to no color (brownish). That applies to both the birds and cichlids :-D

For a moment, I thought it was a type of deep water haplochromis. Awesome coloration if I may say.
