Before they color up?
Can females have egg spots on the **** fin? Will females dig a pit in the sand or is that a male only behavior?
I ask because I have three red peacocks (unknown species) that are about 2.5-3". One -I thought male-has egg spots and has been digging/defending a pit in the sand. This morning I went to feed and noticed the one I thought was male already had a full mouth.
I'll have to clean the green off to get a better picture,
this one seems to be holding something.- hiding, not eating.
could this be a male? It the smallest and least dominant fish of the three. top fish in above pic.
