Hi all my first ever video upload here.

It is just a short clip of two of my wild caught peacocks, which have paired off.

unfortunatley this video was under "moonlight" conditions. will get one under "daylight" conditions uploaded soon.

I'm sad to be the one to tell you these "OB peacocks" are not wild caught. They are not found in lake Malawi. They are man-made hybrid species.
They can be found in the wild too :D

Check the persons whole album. All the fish ae wild caught, even some photos in lake malawi, under water - of cichlids in their natural habitat.

The fish in the flickr link isn't a peacock. Its Mbuna.
Maybe mine is a mbuna then, I was only guessing the breed. I went back to the importer today to collect some more, and they advised all their wild stock is kept seperate on immediate arrival.

I do however doubt that they are a breeding pair, to me they appear the same - no difference on the fins at all.

I may change them, at £50 a fish I don't want to mix Tank Breds with Wild stock. I do have a 100% money back guarantee on them being wild caught and a pair.
