Help with your choice

Named species and colour strains are different choices

Steveni Blue Neon is listed as Aulonocara stuartgranti and Benga as A. baenschi. Red Dragon is explicitly an Aulonocara hybrid; Calico is listed as Aulonocara sp. calico. Colour names do not prove a wild locality, parental combination or pure line. If breeding identity matters, plan which forms to keep separately rather than combining peacocks by appearance.

Read the Red Dragon hybrid offer
Plan territory before choosing colour or quantity

Read the selected species’ adult footprint, feeding and water requirements. Territorial males and competition for food can make a visually attractive mix unsuitable; a shared lake does not establish compatibility. The six-fish assorted pack is distinct from an individual offer and does not promise a particular species mix or sex ratio. Follow explicit sex information on the chosen option, not its colour, photograph or supplied length.

Frequently Asked Questions about Aulonocara

What are Aulonocara peacock cichlids?

Aulonocara are Lake Malawi peacock cichlids. The collection includes named species as well as aquarium colour strains and explicitly labelled hybrids. Many search sandy feeding areas for invertebrates; provide the selected fish’s appropriate feeding space and shelter. Males can be territorial, so a peacock label does not promise a peaceful community fish.

What water do Aulonocara need?

Compare the exact species or strain’s published care guidance with measured temperature, pH and hardness. The listings here need a deliberately prepared Malawi aquarium, but their numerical care ranges are not identical. UK tap water varies; do not assume your supply is suitable or add buffers without testing and a water-management plan.

Can I mix Aulonocara peacocks with mbuna?

Assess the exact species, adult space, feeding and territories before combining them. Boisterous companions can exclude peacocks from food or shelter, but neither peacocks nor Mbuna share one temperament. Plan separation options and consider hybridisation when mixing Aulonocara forms; a common lake of origin is not a compatibility test.

Why are my Aulonocara not showing colour?

Colour varies with identity, sex, maturity, social conditions and health. Colour strains and hybrids do not all follow the same appearance pattern. Do not use colour or supplied length to infer guaranteed sex, and do not buy extra females as a colour treatment. Check water, appetite and signs of chasing; ask about an unexpected change or an uncertain offer.
