Please dont shoot me!!!!

So, now the other red peacock (from petsmart) is holding (the first one was able to hang on to one or two babies who would not come out when I stripped her)..... the only two males that are in the tank with them is 1 rusty and 1 blue acei.... would these guys cross breed? That is the only thing I can think of as I have now had the peacocks for over 2 months.

Hey you're new to this I understand mistake of not knowing just learn from your mistakes. Hey gang feeders soon available! No you have to make that decision. Hard to do at first but when fish are in the wild fry are needed food.

I figured that was the only logical reason.... 2 of the previous batch are surviving so far, guess the other fish had a snack

yea, I know... snack food, even in tanks, lol... thats why I dont have over 100 convicts right now because they had at least 3 batches of fry before I put all males in one tank and all females in the other, lol

So.... lesson learned, peacocks are little hookers

Or the peacock did a spawn with herself. She might spit or swallow them n a few days. Or you got some feeders for later. Hybrids =

If she fertilized the eggs herself, then I would be amazed, as she has some wrigglers in her mouth.... she is just difficult to catch (I think I need to nickname her "Ms. Smarty" and the other one "Dumb Dumb" since the second one was easier to catch).

I guess anything is possible! The miracle fry of Texas!
