gunner Fingerling Posts: 31 Kudos: 30 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Aug-2004  | The big ones at my store are really expensive and the juveniles are cheap. Question is how fast should the juveniles grow as they have no colour |

The females and subdominant males are still pretty small though. Remember that only the dominant male peacocks will be really colourful.

Most all of the peacocks, will go from 1-2 inches to 5 inches in about 6 months. There is always a bigger fish... |
