Stunning A. Ngara Flametail Peacock Cichlids for sale

The Stunning A. Ngara Flametail Peacock Cichlids for sale are an absolute showpiece, now available at Fish R Us. Originating from the Ngara region of Lake Malawi, this specific Aulonocara variant is prized for its “flame-like” appearance. Mature males develop a deep, velvety blue or purple-blue hue on their flanks, which serves as the perfect backdrop for the brilliant orange-red “flame” that extends across the back and tail.

Like other Peacock cichlids, the Ngara Flametail is a peaceful sand-sifter that thrives in a community with other non-aggressive Haps and Peacocks. At Fish R Us, we ensure our Flametails are raised in stable, alkaline water to encourage the development of their signature vivid colors. This is a must-have fish for hobbyists looking to create a high-contrast, “glow-in-the-dark” aesthetic in their display.
