About
The Usisya Peacock is a vibrant and relatively peaceful cichlid, highly sought after for its stunning blue and yellow coloration, especially in males. They are substrate sifting cichlids that do well in a Lake Malawi community tank with other non-aggressive cichlids. They require stable water parameters and a tank with plenty of open swimming space and sandy substrate.
