Pink Peacock Cichlid - Aulonocara sp.

Aulonocara sp. "Pink Peacock" is a stunning, selectively bred peacock cichlid known for its vivid bubblegum to rose-pink coloration, especially under full-spectrum or high-CRI lighting. While not a naturally occurring strain in Lake Malawi, this variety has become a favorite among aquarists for its rare hue and graceful swimming behavior. Males are the stars of the show, displaying intense pink tones that seem to glow in the right setup, while females remain more understated in color.

Like other Aulonocara, this species prefers sandy substrates with scattered rockwork and open swimming space. It does well in peaceful Malawi community tanks, though males may show territorial behavior when breeding. Regular water changes and high-quality food will keep their colors vibrant and their health optimal.
