The Albino Orange Blotch Cichlid is a striking and unique morph of the popular Maylandia estherae, commonly known as the Red Zebra Cichlid. This particular variety displays a pale, creamy-white base color overlaid with vivid orange blotches, giving it a vibrant and eye-catching appearance. The albino trait adds a distinctive pink hue to the eyes and softens the overall contrast of the fish.

Currently measuring around 3cm, these juveniles will continue to develop their coloration as they mature, often becoming even more vivid with age.
