The OB Peacock Cichlid is a stunning hybrid species, known for its vibrant and irregular pattern of orange, blue, and black markings. This semi-aggressive cichlid is a favorite among aquarists for its bold colors and active behavior, making it a striking addition to a Lake Malawi-themed aquarium.

• Care Level: Easy – This hardy and adaptable species is suitable for intermediate aquarists who can maintain stable water conditions.
• Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 350 liters is essential to provide space for swimming and establishing territories. Include plenty of rocks, caves, and other hiding spots to replicate their natural environment.
• Water Parameters: Keep the water temperature between 25-29°C with a pH of 7.8-8.6, reflecting the alkaline conditions of Lake Malawi.
• Diet: OB Peacock Cichlids are omnivores and do best on a varied diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, and plant-based items such as spinach or zucchini. Balanced feeding helps enhance their vibrant coloration.
• Behavior: Semi-aggressive by nature, OB Peacocks can be territorial, especially during breeding. Providing adequate tank space and hiding spots helps reduce aggression and maintain peace among tankmates.

Reaching a maximum size of around 12 cm, the OB Peacock Cichlid is a manageable and visually stunning species, perfect for hobbyists looking to create a vibrant and dynamic aquarium.
