**Name:** Red Shoulder Peacock Cichlid
**Max Size:** The Red Shoulder Peacock Cichlid typically reaches a size of 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) in captivity.
**Water Parameters:** These cichlids thrive in water conditions with a pH level ranging from 7.8 to 8.6 and a temperature range of 76-82Β°F (24-28Β°C), replicating the conditions of Lake Malawi, their native habitat.
**Diet:** Red Shoulder Peacock Cichlids are omnivorous and primarily feed on a diet of high-quality cichlid pellets or flakes. To enhance their coloration, you can supplement their diet with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and spirulina-based foods.
**Temperament:** They are relatively peaceful for African cichlids, but males can become territorial, especially during breeding. Adequate hiding spots and sufficient space in the aquarium can help mitigate aggression.

**Compatibility:** Red Shoulder Peacock Cichlids can coexist with other African cichlid species of similar size and temperament, particularly those from Lake Malawi. However, careful selection of tankmates is essential to prevent conflicts.
**Behavior:** These cichlids are known for their striking coloration, with vibrant red shoulders that stand out. They exhibit social behaviors, with males displaying their colors to attract females and establish territories. They are active swimmers and appreciate spacious aquariums.
**Fun Fact:** The Red Shoulder Peacock Cichlid is admired for its eye-catching red shoulder patches, making it a popular choice among cichlid enthusiasts looking to add vibrant colors to their freshwater aquariums.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
