The Red Shoulder Peacock is a Lake Malawi cichlid. Males show a metallic blue head and body with a bright red to orange shoulder patch, and grow to about 5 inches. Peacocks are among the calmer Malawi cichlids and do well with other peacocks and haps. Keep in a 55 gallon or larger tank with sand, rockwork, and hard, alkaline water (pH 7.8 to 8.6, 76 to 82 F). Feed a quality cichlid pellet plus frozen or meaty foods.
