Scarletmonuka Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 If you don't know by now i am a big fan of Fryier haps and must get some (so if anyone out there has some fry or juvies out there that you wanna sell to me and post to southland). i've also taken a liking to OB Peacocks. i've been told that male fryier haps shouldn't be kept with peacocks as they will kill the male peacocks and breed with the females. How true is this? I've also been told that people have them together not a problem. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 have had them both together without issue. all fish are diffrent however so you never know. and there is a possiblity of cross breeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 would not be surprised if they crossbreed, if they do make sure to show us and also make sure anyone who buys hem knows what they are. OB peacocks are a hybrid anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarletmonuka Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 i'm not worried about cross breeding and of course if they did i would let people know if i were selling them... it was more the fryier males killing the peacock males that i be worried about. but if thats not a huge concern then that opens a huge amount of possible colourful tank mates to go with fryier (if i ever get some :facepalm: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 going for stronger peacocks would be a good idea over weaker ones. that might make things work a bit better for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarletmonuka Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 how do you tell what are the stronger ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 research online, some fish tend to be stronger then others and can take a bit more as well as giving some more to even the stakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Ob's and dragonbloods are man made strains and tend to be more aggressive, any of the jacobfrybergi strains are pretty stroppy to. As far as which male will kill the other is anyones guess. Every fish has their own personality. They me be perfectly happy together, you won't really know how they will react to each other till their in the tank together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
