What kind of Peacock is this?

[fote03]

I got a colony of these peacocks from a guy who called them red peacocks. He told me he got them from Mike's cichlids. I was just wondering if anyone really new what they were. Sorry the pictures suck. His red is much brighter and there isnt as much blue on his body really just his head.

Looks like a German red peacock. It is a man made species but still beautiful none the less.

Not all german reds do, they are a hybrid, they can have varying differences in colors.

i agree i think it is a german red mine does have a little more orange but not much and that is what the breeder was selling them as.

German reds are not hybrids, they have been line bred
