Description

Albino Orange Blotch Peacock (Aulonocara sp.)

Overview

The Albino Orange Blotch Peacock is a visually striking Malawi cichlid known for its pale body accented with bold orange blotches and shimmering blue eyes. Active, peaceful, and vividly colored, it serves as a captivating centerpiece in Lake Malawi cichlid aquariums.

Origin

Endemic to Lake Malawi, East Africa. Prefers rocky habitats with sandy areas and moderate water flow.

Feeding

Omnivorous and thrives on a varied diet:

  • High-quality cichlid pellets or flakes

  • Frozen foods such as brine shrimp, mysis, or krill

  • Occasional live foods

  • Primarily protein-based diet; avoid excessive plant matter

Tank Mates

Peaceful for a Malawi cichlid, best kept with:

  • Other Peacock cichlids (Aulonocara spp.)

  • Non-aggressive Haplochromine cichlids
    Avoid: Aggressive Mbuna or very small fish.

Aggression

Low to moderate. Males may show territorial behavior during breeding but are generally less aggressive than rock-dwelling Mbuna.

Experience Level

Intermediate. Hardy but benefits from stable water parameters, proper diet, and sufficient space for swimming and territory.

Water Parameters

  • Temperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C)

  • pH: 7.8–8.6

  • Hardness: 10–20 dGH

  • Notes: Provide rocky caves, sandy patches, and open swimming areas. Regular water changes and high water quality are essential to maintain vibrant coloration.

The Albino Orange Blotch Peacock (Aulonocara sp.) is a peaceful, eye-catching, and colorful Malawi cichlid perfect for enthusiasts seeking a centerpiece fish for a calm African cichlid setup.
