Aulonocara Red Peacock 2"

Add a splash of vibrant, ruby-red color to your freshwater aquarium with our stunning 2" Aulonocara Red Peacock cichlids. These juveniles are a fantastic choice for both seasoned aquarists and those new to the world of African cichlids.

Key Features:

• Brilliant Red Coloration: The Red Peacock is renowned for its intense, fiery red-orange hue. As they mature, males will develop an even more brilliant, iridescent color that is sure to be the centerpiece of your tank.

• Peaceful Haps (e.g., Copadichromis Azureus)

• Mbuna cichlids with similar temperament
