Peacock Cichlids typically inhabit the area where the rocky beach meets the sandy lake bottom. The Rubin Red Peacock, is highly regarded for its remarkable and vibrant coloring. The fish has vibrant oranges and reds that provide a striking contrast with the bright blue markings on its face, tail, and fins. These Cichlids grow to a size of 13-15cm

Gender inequality

Female individuals do not possess the vibrant colors displayed by their male counterparts. The coloration of the fish is mostly influenced by factors such as its size, age, maturity, and dominance.

Temperament and Compatible Tank Companions

The most compatible tank mates are peaceful and amiable fish that occupy the higher areas of the tank. Other Peacock Cichlids are highly compatible tank mates for the Rubin Red Peacock Cichlids, as long as a ratio of one male to every two females is maintained to reduce dominant tendencies.
