Regal Blue Peacock African Cichlid

Regal Blue Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara sp.) showcases brilliant metallic blue coloration that instantly stands out in any African cichlid aquarium. Males develop intense color as they mature and are known for their active yet relatively peaceful temperament compared to many other African cichlids. Their striking appearance and constant activity make them a popular choice for Malawi displays.

Every fish we offer is hand-selected based on health, vibrant coloration, and standout size. We carefully choose specimens we'd be proud to keep in our own aquariums.
