The Albino Peacock Cichlid is a vibrant and eye-catching freshwater fish, prized for its striking pale coloration with hints of pink, orange, and yellow hues.
This unique cichlid is a variant of the popular Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara sp.), displaying the same graceful swimming patterns and peaceful temperament while standing out with its distinct albino appearance and red eyes.
Native to Lake Malawi in Africa, Albino Peacock Cichlids thrive in well-maintained freshwater aquariums with rocky structures, caves, and open swimming areas.
They are relatively peaceful compared to other cichlids, making them suitable for community cichlid tanks when housed with compatible species.
