Wow!! Babies in her mouth!! I don't know nothin' bout babies!!

Wow!! This is wild, never imagined, and doubt they'll make it, but I have 5 Aulonocara nyassa peacocks, bought 6 weeks ago, and as they've developed, I'm coming on with 3 males and 2 females. Unlike the Taiwan Reef peacocks, who've been shagging all over the largest rock face, these guys did something on the DL.
I noticed one of the females hanging back in the big fake plant alot, not eating, and looked like she had a goiter. Umm, Thursday or Friday. When I got a close-up look Fri or Sat, I saw she had little black moving dots in the extended area under her jaw. Blah!! Some strange eeuuwwie? Nope, methinks it's offspring. And livebearers? Had no idea!! I've looked for info on internet but haven't found any, and have been caught up with a very sick beloved dog past few days who just had what I think was a huge stroke and died today so I had to dig a grave. :sad: :sad: :sad:
No pix, but has anyone seen this? Or direct me somewhere? Went on malawimayhem, cichlid.com, etc. Oh, these guys are also commonly known as Kaleidoscope Peacocks.
Ref sig below for 55: Amm 0; Nitrite 0; Nitrate @15 (just did a waterchange yesterday, I keep my tanks pristine ) Tank seeded media cycle/biospira 2.5 months ago. Man, last thing I thought of was babies, but now I'm thinking if I do at some point get viable fry, I could use them at school with my students (weeee, another tank!!)
THANKS!!! ~renee
