Wild Fogo Peacock Bass (3”) – Ultra-Rare Brazilian Cichla With Unmatched Color and Lineage
Straight from the heart of South America, the Wild Fogo Peacock Bass (Cichla sp. “Fogo”) is one of the rarest and most vibrant Peacock Bass variants in the aquarium trade. These 3-inch wild juveniles already show their iconic deep golden hue, bold vertical bars, and iridescent blue accents that intensify dramatically as they mature.
Collected from the remote Rio Fogo region of Brazil, this strain is prized for its rich coloration, powerful build, and distinct genetic purity. Wild Fogo Bass grow into true river predators, developing brilliant gold flanks, emerald facial highlights, and intense red/orange fins—a showpiece fish that instantly commands attention in any monster aquarium.
