i just obtained a gorgeous male sun shine peacock from my LFS. hes a real beauty. i am having a bit of trouble finding info on this specific species via online. i would like to know his taxonomic name as well as any general info on this magnificent species. also i have him housed in my 58 gal breeder which is listed under my setup link. if there are any problems with him being in here please, pease let me know as i dont want a repeat of what happened with my haps.


cheers :)
 
So sun shine peacock could be one of like 5 different fish... A photo is really the only way to tell for sure what he is.
 
indeed.... its seems i have a chipoka peacock..... the care sheets were also very helpful... you are a scholar and a saint kind sir.
 
Wow mike, a scholar and saint that is kind. I do believe you have managed to receive the best compliment I have seen here.

But yah HazMATT that site is usually the first place I go to if I don't recall of hand what the fishes name is. They try to keep everything up to date, and while most photos are just of a displaying male, well that is usually the only way we can tell half of these fish.
 
lolz feel free... yeah the site has also helped me correctly identify my frontosa as well.... f*** google, that site rocks
