Description
Peacock Cichlid, Orange Blotched. It is speculated that the Orange Blotched Peacock Cichlid originated from a cross between an Aulonocara nyassae and a species of female mbuna also known as the Orange Blossom Peacock Cichlid. This cross was initiated in captivity, and the beautiful hybrid OB Peacock was the result. Their body shape is very similar to that of the Aulonocara nyassae , but the cross between species developed a beautiful blue and orange mottled coloration. The colorations are highly variable in this hybrid and will range from orange to yellow with different shades of blue. The patterns will also vary from being mottled to striped in nature. The OB Peacock Cichlid does well in an aquarium that is at least 50 gallons with plenty of rocks for territories and a sandy bottom. The males are usually only aggressive t.
