Peacock fry

I'm so excited! I've witnessed one of my peacock cichlids holding multiple times but never hold the eggs full term. Well, she finally did it. I'm so proud of her, haha. She is a pink ("Sunburst", "strawberry", whatever) peacock and the father is orange blossom. There were no OB babies however, there are about 12 pink babies and 4 or 5 normal blue/grey ones. They are in their own 10g now and growing quickly. Here is a video I took of the tank, they're still so small and fast moving so it was hard to get a good picture.
