| Located only at Chitimba Bay. Found in the intermediate zone. Diet in the wild consists of microinvertebrates taken from the rocks and in the sand.
The aquarium should have some rockwork but still provide open swimming space both along the bottom and mid-tank region. Feed a quality cichlid flake/pellet food, supplement occasionally with frozen brine, krill or mysis.
Keep one male to several females, do not keep with other Aulonocara species as hybridization can occur.
This is a very popular peacock due to its striking markings. Its high demand will remain strong. |
