Looking for Tangerine Peacock females?

[Juan]

I am looking for females for my Tangerine peacock male.  The female we purchased with him turned out to be a male.  Anyone know where we can get some?  I have run across very few people who even know of Tangerines.  Can anybody help me out?  Here is a picture of him.

Guess these are not that common among hobbyist.

Didn't you say you had a second one?

How big is he?  You both planning on keeping him?

He is about 4 inches just a tad smaller than the one in the picture. Me and my wife talked about it and not really sure what to do.We would hate to sell him because like you said they are not very common among hobbyist and I really haven't seen a fish with the color my male in the picture above has.

I can understand how you both feel.  If you decide to let go of him, keep me in mind.

We saw him also but I am not sure.I bought him from Aqua Zoo as a Tangerine pair.The color on that fish is not as deep red and it doesn't stop at face like mine does.I really don't know to be honest with you.

Dont sell him. Hopefully you will find a nice red or bright orange female to mate him with.
