I picked (I should say rescued) him from a bad tank setup. I had no idea what he was (was almost pure orange and faint white when I picked him up), but he was the only peacock in the tank. Then I put him in with my buddies last year and he turned like this. So stunning, I love this guy. Next time there is a convention near me, he is going into the show. I think he is prize material.
Can't really help you to locate one of these guys, you don't see them too often. Try aquabid?

*Thanks Liz, I knew you would like the venustus couple!

one of mine in these pics is dad who is close to 10 inches ... and the other guy is his son who is about 5 inches.. he grew amazingly fast... you can start to see blue on the head at about 3 inches.... if its a male..otherwise it will keep the giraffe pattern for life.
