phatoscarlover Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yeah check out that other topic mick, its got a fair few pics on it, my only other new pics scince then are... Aulonocara mamelela ( m & F ) Auloncara "Nkhata Bay" (sorry bout the crappy pic, these guys are still very new to the scene and i just wanted to snap a pic of that gobfull ) Ive got some better snaps of the Nkhata Bay's now so il post some new ones up soon. Mick, check out the pics of my lwanda on the other thread, he gets a bit of tetra bit but nothin else colour enhancing, sorry to be a party pooper but i just dont like the look of the egg spots on your fins or that the blue covers where the yellow "shoulder" should be. The sydeny cichlid page at one stage had a whole collection of pics on Lwanda's and how much they can vary but i could only find 2 pics when i had a look just then and they both appear to be Hai reef's (distinguishable by the yellow edging extending through the caudal fin) Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickgibbo Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 I was wondering the same thing but looked up some forums overseas and noticed that some of the specimens had egg spots on the bottom of their tales. These spots are not visible normally but come up with the Flash. Im very sure that these fish came from a reputible breeder, but have wondered myself from time to time. Im just about to sell these fish as well and try another Peacock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xzbit Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Some very nice peacock's here! I picked up two of what I think are Aulonocara sp. "Lwanda" on the weekend. Can anyone tell me how you sex these guys? I noticed in one of the pics that females are all a brown colour. Is that the same with all peacocks? i.e. do only males have colour? Cheers!

chrisso81 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I noticed in one of the pics that females are all a brown colour. Is that the same with all peacocks? i.e. do only males have colour? Cheers! Yes. Although, if you have a colony happenin, when/if you pull out the dominant male you will find a few girls that suddenly turn into boys. Although I did notice in my Eureka reds thats the girls had orange anal fins. This is my dominant A. cobwe, the fish behind/under him is another boy but doesn't show any blue yet, you can tell by the eggs spots on the anal fin.

poxboy Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Here's my A. korneliae. He is half of a wild caught pair, who regularly produce 50-60 fry. Problem is, as you all know, no one loves Peacocks anymore . Bretto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xzbit Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 This is my dominant A. cobwe, the fish behind/under him is another boy but doesn't show any blue yet, you can tell by the eggs spots on the anal fin. Hang on, so both mine have colour, but I think only one has the egg spots on its anal fin, does that mean I have a male and a female or 2 males? Will post some pics up soon! Thanks!

phatoscarlover Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Xzibit if they both have colour there more than likley 2 boys Lwanda 'Hai Reef' Juvi: Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzbit Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Xzibit if they both have colour there more than likley 2 boys Thanks phatoscarlover! Was getting a little confused there! Very nice peacocks btw as well! I love the orange colour in them, very eye catching! Have any of your guys had experience mixing them with electric yellows as, they appear to be a bit agressive towards other fish currently in my tank. these include an eel tailed catfish, little abino and bronze cat.

JLL Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Have any of your guys had experience mixing them with electric yellows as, they appear to be a bit agressive towards other fish currently in my tank. these include an eel tailed catfish, little abino and bronze cat. My peacocks and yellows get along well. A little bit of shaking here and there but no real fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzbit Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Thanks JLL, are they all a similar size or are the peacocks bigger than the yellows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 The Aulonocara sp. "Lwanda" should be around the 10 - 14 cm mark with the females being the smaller. Your Labidochromis caeruleus (Electric Yellows) will be around 9-10cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzbit Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Thanks Jed! Do you think Ill have issues in the tank if the Lwanda's are at about 10cm make and the Yellows are at around the 5-6cm mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLL Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I would think they would be fine. I have a couple of yellows that are about 6cm and 2 of the peacocks are 10-12cm. If there are a few yellows they seem to look after themselves pretty well and the peacocks are generally not too aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I think it's because the page isn't an image, it has to be the pic only and have a picture extension such as .jpg or .bmp Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
