Eureka Peacock

Remarks:  Eureka Peacock (Aulonocara sp.) is a very popular line-bred strain of Aulonocara jacobfreibergi "Otter Point" with more red on the body. Since it is a line bred peacock, the color will not always be the same, sometimes a deep red and other times a rusty color. Members of the "Jake" type Aulonocara group traditionally have a more slender body than most Aulonocara species.
