Incredible that these jewels all evolved from one common ancestor...or so claimed in the documentary that I saw so many years ago 😉

Those peacocks that you have shown were definitely hormoned maybe with white Crane or similar I know I did it I'm from Australia the best most vibrant colourd show stunning colourd peacocks definitely are from Thailand these breeders do breed for that color we all want

Outstanding video for people, considering African cichlids I think my only caveat from experience would be that, in my opinion, peacocks are way more aggressive than in Buna. The Luna only protect their little area, whereas the peacocks have been so hybridized that they can be quite aggressive and Murderous for lack of a better word. Also, it might be good to note that Aquarium sizes very important with your Africans, as well as plenty of good filtration. But, this was a great video!🐠🦯

I admit I am not a cichlid specialist - most of the information I gather on African cichlids is from our aquarium store owners and often they rely on what their local customers tell them, but what you are saying makes sense. Hybrids can get pretty weird, and it's hard to know what is going on in the breeding tanks over in Asia. Good point on mbunas - give them their own area to protect and the rest of the tank can remain somewhat peaceful.
