Burbot Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Could be a german red or orange shoulder too. All of which are derived from the stuartgranti peacock. If your are not 100% sure I wouldn't breed/crossbreed him but a beautiful fish none the less. Cheers :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Ruby Red, Rubescens, German Red, all different trade names for the same fish. Every line can look different, some more orange than red, some more red than orange, etc-etc but they are the same fish. Red/orange shoulder peacocks don't look anything like the fish shown in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
