Description
Aulonocara sp., OB Peacock, Orange Blossom Cichlid
It is speculated that the OB Peacock Cichlid originated from a cross between an Aulonocara nyassae and a species of female Mbuna. This cross was initiated in captivity, and the beautiful hybrid OB Peacock was the result.
Their body shape is very similar to that of the Aulonocara nyassae, but the cross between species developed a beautiful blue and orange mottled coloration. The colorations are highly variable in this hybrid and will range from orange to yellow with different shades of blue. The patterns will also vary from being mottled to stripe in nature.
