    I raise Peacock cichlids for several local shops as well as a couple out of state and have NEVER seen dyed peacock cichlids. I have several peacocks that are naturally blue, red and orange as well as OB peacocks that have a natural color variation of white, blue, red and orange. I also have orange-blotched OBs and currently working on a breeding program with some blue-blotched OBs.

  • @JasonLaveKnotts
    @JasonLaveKnotts 2 года назад +2

    They aren't "man made" just because they only occur in captivity in fact cichlids frequently hybridize so much that they believe that they have a different structure of taxonomy because they so readily hybridize and often produce fertile offspring that can also hybridize.

    You have it reversed. The one you think is the male is the female and vice versa. The larger one (female) ovipositor is sticking out. This happens to female parrots for days after the eggs. After a few days it returns to normal size like a males. Also the females seem to be more aggressive and the main parent who fans the eggs.

      The smaller one/male also looks like it was a result of breeding a B.Parrot back to one of the original species as it doesn’t have the full physical characteristics as a BParrot. If the male is fertile /the spawn hatches and is successful that is likely why he’d actually be fertile.

      @nikcali they never hatch. After a while they all get white and cloudy and the eggs eats eaten. Males are usually not fertile. If you ever have one or found one, they cost alot.
