beets Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 i have 5 brown haps and 4 butterfly peacocks along with others in my 6 footer and they are starting to try and breed. my question is can they cross? i have had females of each holding but no idea who the daddy is. there is definitely a male peacock and unsure about the haps (how do u sex them?)

camtang Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 male brown haps are very colourful in comparision to females. or you can vent them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beets Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 all the haps look the same. none of them are the boss or more colourfull but they are only 3-4 inches. if there is a male would it not have colored up better and be a bit bigger than the females Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 At 3 to 4 inches i would have thought the male brown would have coloured up by now, if you have any males? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeusterae Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I had victorians with aulonocaras before in the same tank and they never tried to crossbreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
