| I love peacocks! We have quite a few. Just have to be careful with inter-breeding. Seems to be that any male peacock will try to spawn w/ any female peacock. Good luck! | |

| Well. . . you probably won't know then. Sorry!! :( Female peacocks like what you have just don't show much, if any color, and a lot of them look the same (drab grayish brown with vertical bars). If you are lucky and you end up with fry. . you won't really know what they are until they start to show color. | |
