Behavior & Care:
Peacocks are active and territorial, especially males. Provide plenty of rocks, caves, and hiding spots to reduce aggression. Best kept with other Malawi cichlids of similar size and temperament. Maintain stable water conditions with a pH of 7.8–8.6 and temperature between 76–82°F (24–28°C).
Note: This is a tank-bred hybrid and not found in the wild. Avoid crossbreeding with other Aulonocara to preserve color purity.
