🔥 Check out this stunning Albino Super Red Peacock male from one of our breeding groups! He’s just around 3 inches right now but already glowing with that bold red-orange hue and classic albino eyes 👀🔥

These fish are perfect for offsetting the typical blues and yellows you see in most African cichlid setups. Their unique look adds a nice pop of color and contrast to any tank!

Stay tuned for updates on these beautiful fish as they mature and begin breeding. We’re excited to get some fry from this group.

New Pickup: Male Venustus!

Just picked up this beautiful young male Venustus (Nimbochromis venustus) to grow out and eventually pair with the 3 females we already have growing out! Really excited to watch him develop his bold blue coloring in the coming months.

Venustus cichlids are native to Lake Malawi and are known for their unique hunting behavior called ambush predation. In the wild, they often lie motionless on the lake bottom, mimicking a dead fish until smaller fish swim close… then they strike!

This species can get quite large—males often reach 10-12" when fully grown. They need plenty of space and tankmates that can hold their own.

Looking forward to seeing this guy mature and hopefully start a future breeding group!
