The Albino Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara sp. 'var. Albino) is a breathtaking colour morph, displaying a stunning combination of vivid pink-red and white colouration with striking red eyes. A showpiece fish for any African cichlid display tank, they are bold, active, and relatively peaceful for a cichlid.
