Yellow OB Peacock Cichlid
Yellow OB Peacock Cichlids are vibrant hybrid peacocks known for their blotched “OB” pattern in bright yellow, orange, and white tones. These semi-aggressive cichlids add bold color and personality to African setups and do best in rock-filled aquariums with stable water conditions. Like all OB types, they are typically male and bred for color.
