Is this a strawberry peacock?

Looks just like one to me. Could be a firefish as well. They are very close. I would call it a fire fish since the males sell for 200 each at bthe local stores.

Actually they are not called that since they are not albinos at all. Look at the eyes.

If you get up close the middle of the eye will be a dark red is why they call them albinos. The fish world has so many different names for fish it's hard to guess what they would call these on the east coast.

I thought a strawberry looked a little diffrent ...but i havent seen that many so i dont know.... Deff not a Albino Red either. Purdy thou.

i hate to hijack, but wth is this? I was told it was a strawberry. its about 2" and actually has some white spots showing.

Firefish and Strawberry Peacocks are both hybrids. Fire Fish come from germany and are a german red cross. Strawberry Peacocks are usually from asia and juiced up to give them a nice color for the LFS to sell them and usually fade after some time. The one you have looks like a Strawberry to me. Mas Roberts, yours looks like a hybrid female peacock. True breed female peacocks are usually grey or dark grey in color. There are a few exceptions. Albino eurekas are one of them. The Albino female eurekas lack the bright cyan blues in the fins and body.

FYI if they are selling firefish in AZ for 200 each, contact me. I was selling them for $30 Each all day long.

Adult male firefish are in the pet store for 199.99.

I'll let everyone know when I get more in.

$199.99 is an organized shakedown.

It looks like a stawberry and for $12.00 that is a fair price good luck with him.
