The Blue Peacock Cichlid is a striking freshwater fish, admired for its bold blue color. This elegant Lake Malawi native grows to about 5 inches and adds a unique, glowing contrast to any aquarium. Blue Peacocks are well-suited for both beginners and experienced aquarists. They thrive in 55+ gallon tanks with sandy substrates, rocky structures, and open swimming space. Best kept with other similarly sized, mild-tempered African cichlids, they adapt well to community setups. A varied diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, spirulina, and occasional frozen or live foods helps maintain their health and color. Hardy and low-maintenance, the Blue Peacock Cichlid makes a beautiful, serene addition to any African cichlid tank.
