Description
The Flametail Peacock Cichlid is a striking freshwater fish from Lake Malawi, Africa, known for its iridescent blue body and vibrant yellow-orange fins. Males display these brilliant colors, while females are more subdued. They are relatively peaceful for African cichlids, making them popular in community tanks with other Malawian species.
