Afrikan Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Recently got some Jacobfreibergi Peacocks... and fed out today only to see one not going for food... Hells teeth... one not well? So after having a close look.. nope... I have a female holding! Can't wait to raise these little nippers... they are a beautiful peacock to, glad I made some space for another species. Who else got some of these recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 have you got any fish that arn't either holding or raising their young? Yes my large pair of Jack Dempseys who seem to talk about it, but I think the male has performance issues :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropheus Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Awesome Afrikan. Come on, we want to see some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 You want to see some of my "Blurs"? I have only ever really fluked the odd good pic :lol: I have a Panasonic 4.0 digital camera and it's not the best, however neither is the photographer (me) :lol: I actually almost had a tantrum with trying to photograph my JD's the other day.. something is up with the zoom, as soon as I zoom in the whole pic focus goes blurry and when picture is taken it's a blur. Hubby and I are looking at camera shopping, we were actually discussing it today... might have to purchase something like Billaneys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aae1 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Mekhaela. sounds like your tanks are like a baby factory at present. :lol: Which variant of Aulonocara jacobfreibergi do you have. Ive got a couple of males and females as well however Im waiting for clarifiaction on species. They look very similar to the "Undu Reef" variant. Would be interested in your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Well I got some baenschi, jacobs and marble peacocks and I now have 8 baenschi fry - about 10 days since spawning, haven't had them that long, i hope they were in with baenschi males? Congrats mekhaela!! One or 2 of my jacobs aren't eating either, might have to check them out BTW Alex I think they are otter points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Alex Yeah, they all seem to be doing their thing lately :lol: This lot that recently came in, came in with no listed variant, just straight Jacobfreibergi. My dominant male is colouring nicely. Certainly at this stage looks different to the ones that I saw in pic of OOA's. Dan - What do you mean you hope she was in with Baenschi males, was she carrying when she was sent through with your order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 yes, it was holding when I got it They had been in bgs for 30 hours as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aae1 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Daniel. Why do you think they are otter points? The guys that I have came from OOA. Have you seen what he had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 yes, it was holding when I got it They had been in bgs for 30 hours as well Oh so she got a bit of action before her trip, good on her 8) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 well otter point, Boadzulu Is. and Cape Kaiser seem to be the three that the ones that I have look like. I think it might be the Boadzulu Is. I'll have a better look tonight, I have seen OOAs ones a while back I think either Boadzulu Is. or Otter Points.

Afrikan Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Dan - Wouldn't it be wise to just label the fish what they came in as, which is A. jacobfreibergi (no variant)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malawi_man Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 ok then, just a. jacob I have to say that the baenschi are looking better than the jacobs, the biggest male is only about 6cm and is fully coloured, I will try and get pics but they're in a dark tank.

Afrikan Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Well the first female spat today and the fry look nice and healthy One was doing spirals tho, tail hadn't quite formed properly. But mum is back recouping and fry munching down on brineshrimp. Hoping to get some nice pics of the dominant male this week, he's lovely :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
