SUPPER RED OB

SUPPER RED OB Peacock cichlids come in several colors, often featuring blue, red, yellow, orange, black, and white scales. This species is dimorphic, with males developing a mixed and spotted coloration, while females keep a black and silver coloring (while developing a spotted morph).

Expect to maintain a minimum 55-gallon tank for peacock cichlids, with some adults requiring 100 gallons or more to flourish. We don’t consider peacock cichlids either plant or reef compatible. They thrive with a low level of care and may produce eggs if you keep a male and female together.

O.B. peacock cichlids may live up to 15 years. Aquarium experts consider the species very hardy and rate them as semi-aggressive to aggressive with other aquatic animals.
