Dazzling Albino Super Red OB Peacock Cichlids for sale – Vibrant Masterpieces
The Dazzling Albino Super Red OB Peacock Cichlids for sale are a high-contrast, designer cichlid that represents the pinnacle of selective breeding in the African Cichlid hobby. It combines the striking “Orange Blotch” gene with albinism and intense red pigmentation, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind showpiece.
Appearance & Coloration
- The Base Color: Unlike standard OB Peacocks that have a flesh-toned or blue base, the Albino Super Red version features a brilliant creamy-white to soft pink base.
- OB Patterning: The “Orange Blotch” patterning appears as vibrant fire-red or deep orange splashes across the body and fins. Because it is an albino, you will not see any black or dark grey spots.
- The “Albino” Glow: They possess the signature pink or red eyes and a distinct pearlescent sheen that makes them appear to “glow” under high-quality aquarium lighting.
Finnage: Their fins are often heavily marbled with red and white, creating a “painted” effect as they swim.
Behavior & Temperament
- Active & Curious: Like most Aulonocara species, they are energetic swimmers that spend most of their time in the open water or scanning the substrate for food.
- Semi-Aggressive: They are generally more peaceful than Mbuna but can be territorial toward other males of similar color or shape. They sit right in the middle of the “peaceful-to-aggressive” spectrum for African Cichlids.
Hybrid Nature: As a man-made hybrid, they do not have a specific “wild” location, but they retain the social instincts of Lake Malawi Peacocks.
Aquarium Requirements
- Water Chemistry: They require the typical Lake Malawi setup: hard, alkaline water with a pH of 7.8–8.6.
- Lighting: To truly appreciate the “Super Red” and “Albino” traits, use lighting with strong red and blue spectrums.
Substrate: Sand is highly recommended, as Peacocks are natural sifters.
