khobbs Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Found these guys through some searching. Can't quite put my finger on what they are. The owner maintains that they are "african cichlid peacocks" I ask what species they say african. Anyway they are super beautiful and would like to find out if they are mutts or if they are actually a common peacock of some type. I though maybe Lwanda or similar, a friend thinks maybe red shoulder Here's a pic of the males Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burbot Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) Not a lot of red in the shoulders for red shoulders...and I thought Lwandas were a hap, could be wrong but... if in doubt don't breed them, far too many hybrids in the hobby already. At the rate pure species are disappearing from nature, bad idea. Edited November 5, 2013 by Burbot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
