Jasmine Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hopefully I'll have at least one male, it just surprised me that one of my biggest seems to be the female. Hehe. Maybe could do a swap, if they do turn out to be females (which I doubt, but never know) then could send your male up in return for a few fry? Hehe. That's assuming I could get them to breed!

firenzenz Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have a 7cm Chilumba and he's slow to colour up. I had the same with my Maisoni Male, he wasn't really dominated but quite shy and nervous,similar in behaviour to the Chilumba and both small peacocks. Looking forward to Chilumba when he gets bigger. The Maisoni looks great now. Coincidently the Chilumba is in with a same size Baenschi male and females and is more dominant than they are...for the time being. Have there been threads where people have listed the hierachy of their peacock/hap tanks? Be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yeah my chilumba male looks wicked now hes all coloured up Just gotta find him a girl now! I haven't seen any lists of dominance in peoples tanks, I think it depends on soo many variables it would be very hard to see a pattern.. I mean you add smaller and bigger ones that naturally makes them more or less dominant, also individual fish are more or less dominant some are real mean some are really soft!

Afrikan Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Yeap I think it comes down to the individual fish... they definately have different natures and personalities I reckon, even within the same species you can get real trouble makers and real placid individuals... fish definately aren't dumb like so many people think... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
