African Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara) – Care Guide
Peacock Cichlids (Aulonocara spp.) from Lake Malawi are among Africa’s most colourful freshwater fish. Males display extraordinary hues — electric blue, orange, yellow, and red depending on species. Relatively peaceful for African cichlids, Peacocks are the ideal starter species for aquarists interested in the African rift lake hobby.
