The OB Platinum Red OB Cichlid is a stunning selectively bred African cichlid known for its extraordinary combination of platinum coloration and vibrant Red Blotch patterning. Featuring a shimmering white to silver metallic base accented with bold red, orange, and dark blotches, this fish offers a dramatic contrast and a truly unique appearance. No two individuals display the exact same pattern, making each specimen one of a kind.

Typically growing to 10–15 cm (4–6 inches), the OB Platinum Red OB is an active and colorful cichlid that thrives in aquariums with sandy substrate, rock formations, and plenty of open swimming space. It is best kept with other similarly sized African cichlids that share a comparable temperament and environmental needs.

As it matures, this variety develops richer coloration, with males often displaying stronger reds, metallic highlights, and more intense patterns during displays and breeding. Its energetic personality and unique markings make it a standout addition to an African cichlid collection.

An omnivore, the OB Platinum Red OB benefits from a balanced diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, spirulina-based foods, and occasional protein-rich supplements such as krill or mysis shrimp. Proper nutrition and excellent water quality help maintain its brilliant colors and support healthy growth.

With its platinum sheen, fiery red OB pattern, and unmistakable individuality, the OB Platinum Red OB Cichlid is a spectacular show fish that brings exceptional color and character to any African cichlid aquarium.
