Strawberry peacock cichlid
Strawberry Peacock Cichlids are vibrant hybrid peacocks known for their soft pink to reddish coloration, often with pearly white or light blue highlights. Bred for their unique appearance, they are typically peaceful for African cichlids but may show territorial behavior during breeding or in crowded setups. They do well in spacious aquariums with stable water conditions and a balanced diet.
