Identify this Peacock

[tugboat]

Hi Guys,
Just got this fellow a day or so ago and I think I know what type he is but would like to hear your opinions, I am just getting into this species so my knowledge is limited as far as types etc. Thanks for having a look see..

It looks like a aulonocara jacobfreibergi lemon jake. Nice male peacock.

I think it needs a lit more blue to be a lemon Jake.. but I have been known to be wrong.

Then aaulonocara jacobfreibergi otter point..

That was my guess.   :-)

But I try not to get into the id of fish.... I still have a lot to learn.

Those were both of my guesses as well, thanks guys for helping me out..

Definitely one of the A. jacobfreibergi variants (not Lemon or swallow tail tho)

Could be Hongi or Mara but looks like it is really small and could very well be hormoned to get it to look that colorful.

He's good looking.  Post a pic when he grows up alittle, may help.

could very well be hormoned to get it to look that colorful.

oh yeah!  I'd bet that it is.

What's throwing me off is the number of egg spots. I haven't seen that many on a Jake before,  but I do understand that the further we get from F0 & with the amount of line breeding of Aulonocara, there is going to be a lot of genetic variation.

How long does that last?

[danielratti]

The egg spots and the small size is where I was coming from on the hormoned side. Could be Weeks to a month it lasts.

I'm going with otter point, nice fish

Just outta curiosity - Where did you get him ?  Very nice looking fish...KUDOS !

Otter points have always struck me as having more orangish color rather than yellow.

The easiest thing to do is just not mention a location after the name. Nice looking peacock.
