This Albino Male Peacock has occurred in a number of the more commonly bred Peacocks such as from the Blue Peacock. They have pale coloured bodies that can be pink, yellow or orange-toned with blue and yellow hues on their fins. Their pupils are the striking bright red color characteristic of albinos.
Albinos in particular, do well with other cichlids that are not very aggressive, being a more docile genus. Peacocks are very popular aquarium fish, because of their lively behaviour, bright colours, shapes, size and intelligence. They are however semi-aggressive and territorial therefore they should not be kept with small or peaceful fish and should be kept either on their own, or in a community of similar sized Malawi Cichlids.
In their natural habitat, most Peacocks are smaller than 10cm - a few species may reach 13cm however some males may grow up to 15cm or more.
To keep this fish happy, keep the water alkaline, temperature between 24 to 26 degrees and provide a varied diet.
