As some of you may know I caught about 20 peacock around 3" a while ago in an attempt to raise them. I only had a 30 gallon tank so I couldnt keep up with it and let them go.
Today I was fishing, and I usually see the mom with the small peacocks that I released under this tunnel where the mom protects them and I can watch them come out slowly and attack guppies on the surface then retreat back into the tunnel. Its the coolest things, like watching my sons all grown up haha.
Anyhow, today I was fishing and I saw a 3 stripe female, the mono/ocel typical florida hybrid. BUT! the male she was with only had 2 stripes which ive never seen other than on this forum. Im not sure if this is a real 2 stripe or maybe he just didnt come out right or what. Check it out.
I caught the mother first by mistake, I wasnt really going after them since I saw they had about 1000 1cm fry with them. She happen to attack the lure first so... oh well.
They were both released right after the pics, and since 1 stayed with the fry the whole time they swam back to each other.
