Lovely specimen, I've always been fond of A. jacobfreibergi. Reminds me of my old Peacock blues from my Malawi days. Wish I could afford to set up another Malawi tank, but for now I'll just have to appreciate others' collections. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to more updates.

Really stunning fish, I've had the chance to see one in a show tank and it was breathtaking. I've always been drawn to them, but I think I'll have to admire from a distance - cichlids aren't in my plans right now. Thanks for sharing, always love seeing these beautiful creatures.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Fruitblast, yeah those show tanks can be real teasers, can't they? Glad you enjoyed the vid. And thanks for the love from the Great White North, haha.

Lovely fish, reminds me of my old favorites - sunshine, albino freibergi and electric blue peacocks. Nice to see someone else appreciates them.

Your peacocks sound amazing. I had some awesome ones too - sunshine, albino freibergi, electric blue. It's great finding fellow peacock fans.
