Albino Strawberry Peacock - Lake Malawi Peacock Albino RedPink Color Semi-Aggressive African Cichlid

The Albino Strawberry Peacock (Aulonocara sp.) is a stunning African cichlid prized for its soft red, pink, and orange strawberry tones combined with albino coloration and bright red eyes. This unique peacock cichlid offers a lighter, high-contrast alternative to traditional blue peacocks while still delivering bold color and personality.

Males develop the most intense strawberry coloration as they mature, especially when housed in proper Lake Malawi conditions and fed a high-quality African cichlid diet. Like other peacocks, Albino Strawberry Peacocks are generally less aggressive than Mbuna, making them well suited for mixed Peacock and Hap aquariums.

With proper rockwork, open swimming space, and stable alkaline water, this fish becomes a true centerpiece in any African cichlid display.
