Sky Blue OB peacock (male)

The OB peacock (for "orange blotch") is an aquarium-bred Aulonocara line, famous for its marbled pattern: no two are alike. The Sky Blue OB is the variant with sky-blue, pink and orange tones and irregular black blotches. It is not a wild form, and we say so when we sell it.

This is an 18 cm male, the only one we have, a large size for a peacock, with long white pelvic fins and yellow egg spots on the anal fin. The photos show the fish for sale, in the tank, in hand and on the net. We also have an OB female, if you want to form a pair.

Like all peacocks, it is calm, swims in open water and sifts the sand for food. It needs a tank of 300 liters or more, with fine sand and room to swim. It does well with other peacocks in different colors and calm haps; avoid aggressive mbuna. Food: quality cichlid pellets, with krill or mysis a couple of times a week.
