The store is called, 'The Reef' in Anaheim, CA. They are at State College Blvd and La Palma.

They get their new fish in every other Monday. I've been in many times and have never seen this quality before. Give the owner "T" a call and see when he will be getting more in. (714) 635-1123. I can't believe I got them all at the same time! I don't like the multi-colored spotted ones, but he has some nice ones of those too. Good luck!
 
They look great, suspiciously great, I'm not trying to be an ahole with my comments here, but they almost look hormoned (I've seen quiet alot of these hormoned juvie sized peacocks with full on adult color and extremely long fins coming from asia). I hope I'm wrong, but that's just my observation.

How big are they?

I don't know anything about hormones. I did see the same looking adult fish online. Anyway, they were about $8 each, so I don't think that would cover the cost of shipping them in from anywhere.

They are about 2 inches long.
 
thanks ill def have to see where its at compared to where im staying but def nice fish....on the hormone subject i have heard of this b4 my LFS told me not to buy online because of this possibility...thanks again
 
You will know in a month or 2 if they were hormoned up because they will loose their color... If they are only 2 inch and have all that color it is very possible they are juiced up either with steroids, hormone injections, or hormoned food, it is very common for the lfs's to buy in bulk from florida and many come from asia and thats where they get the hormones, I've had it happen to a few of the fish I've gotten from lfs's a few even lost all color after a couple months and turned out to be females...

Wow, what a buzz kill. :( Let's see how they look in a couple months.
 
Nice fish and the price is out standing around here you may pay at least 35 bucks for a male colored up peacock.
