Received the Chilumba Peacock cichlid and it has been thriving in my 55-gallon tank. The male displays vibrant colors when active, adding a striking element to the setup. I appreciate the care taken in quarantine and the species-specific details provided.

This cichlid is a unique addition to my Lake Malawi-focused aquarium. The display quality of the mature male is impressive and stands out among other Aulonocara species. It’s a good choice for collectors seeking rare localities.
