POWER77 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hi guys got sold this male peacock and a female as Aulonocara Nyassae cobue. Anyone know if it actually is? If they are any good ill give it a go breeding them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeusterae Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 That looks like a crossbreed between Aulonocara and Taiwan reef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Agreed. Looks like it has cobue in it but has something else as well by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWER77 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Cheers guys, looks like a heavy dose of clove oil then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Look nice in a male tank. Just don't breed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hold fire on ditching them, I will see if I have any photos of the cobue that I had.. I was one of the first people that had them direct from the importers (redwoods) so should be able to do a good comparison for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POWER77 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Look nice in a male tank. Just don't breed them. Yeah is a nice looking fish Ron but not really keen on keeping any hybrids (except Dragons blood) and it's quite a bit bigger than everything else in there, the males about 14cm and the next biggest fish would be around 8. Hold fire on ditching them, I will see if I have any photos of the cobue that I had.. I was one of the first people that had them direct from the importers (redwoods) so should be able to do a good comparison for you. Cheers Ryan, would be stoked if they aren't hybrid..

nudge Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I had one of ryans males beautiful fish. Mine had the slight yellow through the anal fin but the body was solid blue yours seems to have a lot of yellow through him will be keen to see what ryan reckons. They are nice peacocks shame you don't see them round anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 You could breed them and see if all the fry look the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 His colouring through the face ( they have that almost fluorescent blue fleck) and the white blaze on his dorsal looks right its just all the yellow through him that makes me think hes a hybrid. Hopefully ryan can find some pics of his stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 You could breed them and see if all the fry look the same Fry would all look the same if the fish was an established hybrid line. TBH the cobue were probably not that pure or had a dubious ID at best (like most the fish that come into NZ) they are a nice fish though and seemed relatively true. I haven't had a chance to wade through the many thousand photos of fish that I have on my lap top to update this post but I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
