The Albino Ruby Peacock Cichlid is a breathtaking, selectively bred African cichlid admired for its brilliant ruby-red to orange coloration and distinctive albino features, including pale pink or red eyes and the absence of dark pigmentation. Its luminous colors and graceful appearance make it a standout centerpiece in any Lake Malawi aquarium.
Typically reaching 15–18 cm (6–7 inches) in length, the Albino Ruby Peacock is an active yet relatively peaceful cichlid that thrives in spacious aquariums with sandy substrate, rock formations, and plenty of open swimming areas. Compared to many Mbuna species, peacock cichlids are generally less aggressive, making them well-suited for communities with other compatible peacocks and haplochromines.
An omnivore by nature, this fish does best on a balanced diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, supplemented with spirulina-based foods and occasional protein-rich treats. Clean, stable water conditions and proper nutrition help maintain its vibrant coloration and overall health.
With its glowing ruby coloration, striking albino appearance, and calm, engaging personality, the Albino Ruby Peacock Cichlid is a spectacular addition for aquarists looking to add elegance and brilliant color to their African cichlid collection.
