Wuddy O.B (Peacock)

Wuddy O.B. Peacock African Cichlid

Scientific Name: Aulonocara hybrid
Common Name: Wuddy O.B. Peacock / OB Peacock

The Wuddy O.B. Peacock is a striking selectively bred African cichlid known for its unpredictable combination of orange, red, blue, yellow, and dark blotched markings. The “O.B.” (Orange Blotch) pattern gives each fish a unique appearance, meaning no two Wuddy O.B. Peacocks will develop exactly the same coloration or pattern.

Mature males typically develop the most intense coloration, often showing brilliant metallic blues contrasted against orange or red body coloration and irregular dark blotching. Juveniles may appear more subdued, with their colors becoming increasingly pronounced as they mature.

O.B. Peacocks are generally considered semi-aggressive and work well in appropriately sized Peacock and Hap communities. Plenty of swimming space and rockwork or other visual barriers can help reduce territorial behavior.
