Cicolid Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Could you please tell me the genus & species of the "Firefish Peacock" ? I haven't seen them in WA. Cheers Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 thanks everyone for the comments! sorry cicolid i bought it from a pet shop as a firefish peacock and thats all i know. It was an impulse buy but hes a really cool fish so i dont mind too much. at first i thought he was white craned but after talking to the shop owner i was convinced it wasnt... its been a month and still holding its colour and healthy so i guess he was telling the truth.

Stuart74 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Could you please tell me the genus & species of the "Firefish Peacock" ? You won't find anything due to the fish being a Hybrid and in no way shape or form is it a true Aulonocara Sp. I have never heard of them being called firefish though they have been circulating throughout the hobby under the trade name of "Dragon bloods" The most common problem with that particular hybrid is its tendency to remain stunted in its growth. Nice looking Lions cove though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I agree, great capture on the Lions Cove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Thanks guys! i was aware of the possibility that the peacock was a hybrid.. Dont worry i have no intentions of breeding them. Heres another one of the lions cove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Milky has been on the forum for a while so don't expect a reply soon. JPM1976 and Mawfish were both breeding these from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice looking Lions cove though So can anyone give me any more feed back on the Dragons Blood Peacock, as I have one in my display tank. I wasn't aware of them being a hybrid. Whats the go with them ? The Lions cove is a cool looking fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice looking Lions cove though Firefish/dragon bloods are in every way shape and form Auolnocara. They are line bred from A. stuartgranti red shoulder. And goldens have been line bred in Australia without hybridisation. I can provide some links for research purposes, but would need mods permission. What you are saying is the same as saying " 'red melons' and 'blue diamonds' are in no way shape or form discus. ” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
