Due to the risk of hybridization, do not save any fry produced in this sort of setup. It is an aggressive species, normally kept in a mixed African cichlids community aquarium. In many aquarium shops, this fish will still be found under its old name of Pseudotropheus zebra.

I know it has yellow collar in it but unless you got it wild and off a repubule importer or a honestbreeder who gets there fish from a honest importer you have know idea of it being a pue peacock. I'm also breeding a true red OB estherae.īTW the peacock in your avatar pic are you sure it is a pure breed. Cherry red zebras is a line bred hybrid and blows away the pure esterae when it comes to color. That is why I'm breeding cherry reds to the strain to make iot more like a red zebra. the fact it is called a red OB is the kicker because there is very little red zebra in it. This fish is a hybrid before I started working with it. There a a lot of different mutations to work with even in pure speices. #3 You cant get all the cichlids that occor naturaly do to them being protited to collect by law or in areas too dangerous to collect them. Micheal wrote:Never have understood why people can't just be happy with the thousands of natural cichlids in the world and quit making their own. This male is a result of those breeding's. I been working with this line for a few years now crossing them into Cherry Red females increasing the orange background color. A albino would have been white or cream colored. I crossed a OB male from this strain to some Cherry red zebra females and bred the young back to another male from this strain and got a few light brown fish with the wine red eyes. The proof was when the farm sent me some light brown fish with red eyes from this strain. In a true albino the blotches would have been pink to a super light blue sheen. The blue blotches and dark wine red eyes was a key marker for this gene. I always felt this strain was hypo and not albino but I had no proof until this year when I found the farm where this mutation was first discovered. In the Pic's the look bright red but in person they are a dark wine red. The eyes are dark wine red and look normal most of the time. This strain has been mislabeled as albino Red OB zebra for some years now.It is not a Albino but Hypo ( Hypomelanistic ).
