🐟 Apache Peacock Cichlid - (Aulonocara sp.)

The Apache Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara sp.) is a stunning African cichlid prized for its brilliant coloration, combining deep reds, oranges, and blues reminiscent of an “apache sunset.” Belonging to the Peacock Cichlid group from Lake Malawi, this hybrid or selectively bred strain is known for its vibrant beauty, peaceful temperament (for a cichlid), and active personality.
