Good Evening all,
I picked this guy up as a "Blue Peacock" I believed this is what he was, however his behavior makes me think otherwise.
From the moment I introduced this guy to the tank he was a bully, he has killed several fish already and he constantly chases and nips at the other fish.
He lived in the sump for for a while so the other fish could grow, hes back in the tank and has lost his mostly blue coloration and gained a blackish tint on his body, this could be from stress as it varies in pictures and in real life.
I have kept O.B's, German reds and sunshines in the past and have always found them to be peaceful lower tank inhabitants.
That Is why I would like to know if he is in fact a different species (or hybrid) that has a higher aggression level. I looked through the profiles and I guess there is a possibility he is a Fryeri hybrid, as he spends all his time in the open water and never really sifting sand.
Thanks in advance!
