在实验室条件下，雌性孔雀鱼表现出对尾巴较大的雄性的明显偏好，这种偏好转化为这些雄性的繁殖适应性增强。雌性也更喜欢展示率较高的雄性，这种行为似乎与尾巴大小有关，但可以通过实验将其消除。这似乎是女性选择的性选择的例子。
Under laboratory conditions, female guppies demonstrate a clear preference for males with larger tails, and this preference translates into enhanced reproductive fitness for these males. Females also prefer males with higher display rates, a behavior which appears to be linked to tail size, but which can be experimentally disassociated. This appears to be a case of female-choice sexual selection.
