NEW FISH : Aulonocara hansbaenschi : Red Shoulder

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Now I don't claim to know my africans very well so sorry if this seems ignorant but that looks like a very well colored O.B. peacock to me. Can I ask why it's so special b/c I know I'm missing something.

A fish doesnt always have to be MONSTER or RARE to simply be enjoyed.

This is definitely not an OB peacock. OB peacocks are hybrids and the one Li has is a fine example of a beautiful hansbaenschi red shoulder peacock. OB peacocks have will have colors such as blue, white, orange, and black spots depending on the fish itself as it varies within each individual. Hansbaenschi red shoulder peacocks are an overall blue fish with red coloring around the gill area of the fish hence the nickname, "Red Shoulder Peacock. Maybe you are forgetting about the passion of keeping fish. Not everything has to be rare or monster to be enjoyed.
