I have a mystery and need your help to solve it!

5 weeks ago or so, when we had the big rains and so many of us mysteriously lost big healthy fish, my breeder Sunshine peacock male died. The female was in a maternity tank at the time. A week or so later I put her back in the tank.

I just realized she's holding! Who could the father be? Here's a list of fish that are in the tank:
Male convicts, blood parrots, c. moorii (dolphin) juvies. some 1 and 2 inch peacock juvies that aren't even close to coloring up yet, a Taiwan Reef male, yellow and white labs. and young acei.

Who's "her daddy?"

I'm looking forward to them! It actually could be the Taiwan Reef male, because his female has been in a maternity tank for a while.

anything can cross breed...

I personally would just let the mom spit into the tank...

there are enough hybrids on the market today. I remember when I used to keep africans...there not many hybrids out there.

Has anyone ever seen a Sunshine peacock/Taiwan Reef hybrid?
