So the male peacock i got from Rual is acting strange today. All day he has been taking out the gravel from a hollow fake log. He also is franticaly chasing anything that gets close away. He also chases both females all over the tank. Is there a reason why he is doin this? Perhaps he wants to breed? I know when my convicts used to breed they would act in a similar fashion, but arent peacocks mouthbrooders?

Re: Peacock digging pit
i look at it as setting up his "crib" for the ladies....hehehehe.....they are indeed mouth brooders...but they all do their little prep stuff i think.....if it's the dance then in no time you'll spot a female with her mouth looking all strange and she won't be eating ......
fishlady.....
p.s. i'm sure there are experts out there that can make this sound more scientific.....lol... -
Re: Peacock digging pit
You did just fine Fishlady.
He's just clearing a breeding area. They prefer a flat smooth surface when mating.
Hope you are ready for some fry. :)

Re: Peacock digging pit
