Peacock Cichlid Albino
Peacock cichlids, upon maturity, are the brightest cichlids in the entire world. Albino peacocks are bred to display bright pink and orange colors. Like all true albino fish, these cichlids have red eyes. Even at a small size, the albino color is bold and apparent. Peacock cichlids get along with nearly all African cichlids, catfish, and large tetras and barbs, and larger oddball Africans. If sharing space with more aggressive Mbunas, particularly Zebra cichlids, provide them with lots of space and rocks and wood for cover.

The peacock cichlid is stunning with its vibrant pink and orange coloring. It’s very active and adds a lot of visual appeal to the tank. I’ve kept it with other African cichlids and it’s peaceful, especially when given plenty of hiding spots.

Beautiful fish with bold colors. It’s easy to care for and stays calm in a community tank. I noticed it’s more active during the day and enjoys the surface area of the tank.

The red eyes and bright coloring make this fish stand out. It’s a great addition to a Malawi-focused aquarium. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving with no issues.
