my huge peacock eel

[jclyde13]

few peacocks ever get bigger than 10 in. though i did have one just under 12 inches when it died(no i have no pics, before this site sry)

Yeah, but a real peacock takes at least a few years to get to that size (not the 8-9 months it has taken mine). And other than the size, there is also other evidence that these are not peacocks, for example, the caudal fin of a peacock is not connected to the dorsal and anal fins as it is with the tire track, and the most obvious difference is the difference in patterning and coloration.

I figured that was what you meant, I was just making sure there was no confusion. btw, sorry for your loss man, it must suck having a fish with such a great personality die.
