I like the
aulonocara firefish/dragonblood what can you tell me about him?

It's a line bred peacock, I've had a few in an all male mbuna set up and unlike other pure strain peacocks, dragonbloods can definitely hold their own, just google for more info:

Not linebreed, hybrid peacock that is line breed after that. Often they mix an albino peacock back into the line, not necessary same type.

Alot of lfs's sell them, the quality varies though.

Found some nice quality on aquabid and cichlid-forum:
