firenzenz Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Shot at night so only lights are tank lights with the LEDS. One 4ft strip of white and one of blue. Really tempted to get another white for top and try blue along bottom of tank in rear. Also have done slight restocking on tank- taking out some of older fish and growing out some new males.

reptilez Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 nice sunshine peacock male,the LED lights really bring out the colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Not scientific at all- but based on comparative shutter/aperture used for both fluro and LED think the intensity of the LED lights is about the same as the fluro's, maybe a bit brighter, but colur temp is definitely cooler. nice sunshine peacock male,the LED lights really bring out the colour! Just out of interest which one would you call "sunshine' -as depending where you live there are two fish out of the three yellow peacocks shown here that would fit that common name. Why it is good to use the designated species name wherever possible with these fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firenzenz Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I plucked my OB out of a group at HFF Albany. He really was the only one that displayed any sort of colour. Wouldn't expect much from him in terms of lineage, but at $6 he was a good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
