The Strawberry Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara sp.) is a vibrant, colorful freshwater fish native to Lake Malawi in Africa. Known for its striking, reddish-pink to orange body with hints of blue, it typically grows to around 5-6 inches in length. These cichlids are peaceful compared to other cichlids, making them suitable for community tanks with similarly sized, non-aggressive fish. They prefer warm, alkaline water and need a tank of at least 30 gallons. Strawberry Peacocks are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet of pellets, frozen foods, and some plant matter. They are also popular for their peaceful temperament and stunning appearance.
