My Venustus male bred with my ob peacock female and i'm probably going to strip the babies from her tomorrow. she's been holding for almost 3 weeks now and the babies are almost fully formed! if you have ever heard of a venustus hybrid, post what it crossed with and a picture if you have one!
after the video, the babies were placed in one breeder box until they completely absorb their entire yolk sack, and momma was put in another box to recover and fatten up before re-introduction
never thought a venustus would hybridize! hmmm, giant peacock cichlids anyone?
almost been a month... no losses, planning to finally move the babies to their own tank today... with one ob peacock the same size (2 months old...) videos when i can
