German red or a sunshine peacock kinda hard for me to tell

[nismo_sky28]

Either a benga sunshine or maleri island sunshine. Depends on the slope of the forehead. Safe to just say a sunshine peacock

looked orange to me that's why I said German red.

The problem as I see it with peacocks is that you can't be "exactly" sure about them unless the person you got them from is "exactly" sure and a trustworthy individual. One can mix with another and then through fry that look like an array of colors inbetween what each of the parents work, some looking like proper parent 'A' and others like proper parent 'B', despite them all being a mix. 

Where did you get him from?

IMO it's not nearly dark enough for a german red.

Benga and sunshine are good guesses.

This is another from Robmc, I ended up with one male and two females. I know i know, I should have just e-mailed the pic to him, but this is fun testing everyone's knowledge

Hello Jim,

That is a Aulonocara sp. "Stuartgranti Maleri" (Chidunga Rocks) Or Sunshine Orange Peacock. The Chidunga Rock collection point is a Orange version of the yellow sunshine peacock. Here is a Pic of the Father of your fish.

Thank you so much Rob. I am getting more serious about the fish keeping, actually recording everything that I have on paper. Uhh how bad is it if the "Brother and Sister" spawn. Cause they just did today. The female is now holding.

Very nice! A maleri orange. They are beautiful fish. I've read and with personal experience that four generations are as deep as you can go with inbreeding before physical deformities start

Nice male Rob!

Thanks Ron,

He is one of my favorites.
