The Pink Peacock Cichlid, a selectively bred variety of the Aulonocara species from Lake Malawi, is known for its stunning pink to reddish hues that shimmer under aquarium lighting. Males are more vividly colored than females and often display elongated fins. These cichlids are generally peaceful compared to other African cichlids, making them a popular choice for community tanks. They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with rocky decor and open swimming areas, where they can exhibit their active and inquisitive nature.
