Help with names....Please

[BigJeff]

Please help me with theses two male peacocks.  I was told  the Brown striped one was called a cherry red but it has no red...hmmmm.

Neither are peacocks.  The first one is a Malawi Hap & the second is a Victorian.
 I have no idea on which species they are though.

First looks like a taiwan reef juvenile, not a peacock. and the second is a juvenile victorian hap, not sure which species and it will be very hard to narrow down

[danielratti]

That front will go after that t-reef

[Regalblue]

You guys sure that's a Taiwan Reef? The barring looks off to me.

I agree.  Body shape of a Taiwan, but thats about it.

Also, remember with common names... one place can call a fish one name and another place can call a different fish the same common name.

Makes a H It's a t reef.

I agree

[lilscoots]

The stripes definitely look off for the proposed taiwan reef.  they shouldn't have that many stripes and the H pattern is usually very distinct.

[GrizzlysDad]

I believe the first one is Oscar which means that the other one has to be Felix.

Hopefully I helped with the names.

Happy St Patrick's Day

Yes, but a double H?

[BigJeff]

Thanks guys! They both are nice. The brown striped has some blue purple coming through  and the second has some very nice  bright pinkish  red showing in the fin areas. Cant wait til their 5 or 6 inches.

If you're referring to the |-|-| pattern, I thought that looked a little weird too. If you're referring to 2 'H's per side, that's expected. From what I've seen, it's not uncommon to have a single bar or two ahead of the first 'H' and perhaps beyond the second 'H'. The fish pictured has a little more barring than most I've seen, but I wouldn't consider it as much vertical barring as you'd find on a female peacock.

[danielratti]

Could be super inbred too.
