OB peacock

OB Peacock Cichlids are vibrant and colorful hybrids known for their bold, blotchy patterns in shades of orange, yellow, blue, and black. “OB” stands for “orange blotch,” and these fish are typically more aggressive than purebred peacocks due to their Mbuna lineage. Despite their attitude, they are hardy and adaptable in properly structured African cichlid setups.
