The OB Peacock is a stunning addition to my Lake Malawi setup. Each fish has a unique pattern that stands out in the tank. I’ve kept it for over six months and it remains active and healthy. The display value is impressive and worth the investment for a dedicated cichlid enthusiast.
Robert Johnston –
I was drawn to the OB Peacock for its individualized patterns. It’s not a common look among Aulonocara, and the fish has adapted well to my 55-gallon tank. I do need to keep it in a stable environment with consistent water parameters.

This fish is a true showpiece. The irregular blotching is striking and changes slightly as it matures. I’ve never seen such variation in a cichlid before. It’s perfect for a focused, species-specific aquarium.
