Gendering OB peacock

[Mvrenko]

Hello all! A few weeks ago I purchased a juvenile OB peacock. Trying to gender this early is complicated I have realized. I am not experienced enough to vent. Is anyone able to help me predict what gender my OB is?

He/she has yellow egg spots on the anal fin and orange on the tale and dorsal fins.

Egg spots aren't a good indicator. The rounded dorsal and anal fin make me think it's female, but these could change over time. You could try venting it, there's plenty of how-to's floating around. This would give you the best answer.

Thank you for the help!

I agree with James that it is most likely a Female, my peacock females all have the same rounded anal fins. But time will tell.

I bought 3 male peacocks, I thought, until they spawned. If it is a male it will probably shimmy, and shake, around similar looking females.

My female peacocks will chase other females like a male, but it does not shimmy shake.
