Boy- also remember that your calling one fish by its common name (a peacock lion), and one mans peacock is another mans something else.

I have heard P Volitans called "turkeyfish", butnever peacock. Peacock lions have "eyespots" like a peacock. Volitans don't- but hey its a common name, so who knows,
I'll see if i can link

I see what you're saying.
The eye spots you're talking are on the side "wings".
