孔雀魚與獵捕的相關文獻

掠食者-鱂魚(Rivulus hartii)會因口器的大小及形狀限制，減少捕食成年體型較大的孔雀魚，而去捕食幼魚或體型較小的成魚(Anna K. Gosline, F. Helen Rodd ,2007)

孔雀魚會受環境中的其他掠食者的取食傾向影響，進而慢慢演變成自身的取食傾向，甚至影響後代(如期他掠食者吃小孔雀魚，則大孔雀魚也會吃小孔雀魚)(F. Helen Rodd, David N. Reznick, and Marla B. Sokolowski, 1997)

如果孔雀魚被飼養在高被捕食環境中則只會出現高被捕食環境的表徵；如果飼養低被捕時的環境則在成年的頭型及體型大小都會出現不同的表徵(低被捕環境中的表徵比高的來的多à新地方剛開始表徵多，之後會剩下合於環境的表徵)(J.Torres-Dowdall et al, 2012)
