The Albino Orange Blotch Cichlid is a visually striking morph of the Maylandia estherae, commonly known as the Red Zebra Cichlid. This variant is distinguished by its creamy white to pale pink body, overlaid with irregular, vibrant orange blotches. The albino genetics give the fish a soft, glowing appearance with characteristic pinkish eyes, making it a standout in any cichlid setup.

These individuals are currently 4–5cm in size, beginning to show more defined coloration and patterning as they approach maturity.
