Bring incredible color and movement to your aquarium with Peacock Cichlids. Native to Lake Malawi in East Africa, these beautiful freshwater cichlids are prized for their vibrant colors, eye-catching patterns, and active personalities.
Compared with many other African cichlids, Peacocks tend to have a more moderate temperament, but they can still be territorial — especially males.
These cichlids are approximately 4 inches.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
Experience Level: Intermediate
Diet: Omnivore
Water Temperature: Approximately 76–82°F
Recommended pH: Approximately 7.8–8.6
Minimum Tank Size: 55 gallons; larger aquariums are recommended for groups
Cichlids do best in a spacious aquarium with plenty of swimming room, rock work, hiding places, and compatible African cichlid tank mates.
For their best health and coloration, provide clean, well-filtered water with the hard, alkaline conditions naturally associated with Lake Malawi. Feed a varied, high-quality diet formulated for African cichlids while avoiding overfeeding.
