Vivid A. Benga Baenschi Sunshine Peacock Cichlids for sale
The Vivid A. Benga Baenschi Sunshine Peacock Cichlids for sale are a fan favorite at Fish R Us, known for being one of the most brightly colored yellow cichlids in the hobby. Originating from Benga Reef, these Peacocks are celebrated for their intense, uniform yellow pigmentation that covers the body and fins, creating a high-contrast look when paired with the iridescent blue markings on their faces.
As a member of the Aulonocara family, the Benga Peacock is a peaceful sand-sifter. They spend their time hovering over the substrate, searching for food, making them much less aggressive than the rock-dwelling Mbuna. They are an ideal choice for hobbyists looking for “Show Males” that bring maximum color and a calm temperament to a 55-gallon or larger display.
