Red top lwanda peacock cichlids are amongst the most striking-looking Malawi cichlids we know. They’re also quite beginner-friendly and easy to keep. Natives of the deep waters of Hai Reef in Tanzania and Chiwindi in Mozambique, these fish are pretty popular in the aquarium hobby given their bright colors.
