Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Flavescent Peacock Cichlid is best handled here as the Chilumba trade/location form of the Aulonocara stuartgranti group. The old listing mixed `Aulonocara chilumba` and generic peacock keywords; the safer customer-facing copy is to be clear that this is a Lake Malawi peacock cichlid for hard, alkaline water.
| Adult size | About 12-13 cm standard length; allow adult swimming room |
|---|---|
| Minimum aquarium | 200 litres or more for a planned Malawi group |
| Water | 22-26°C in source records; stable hard, alkaline Malawi conditions in aquaria |
| Diet | Quality cichlid pellets, frozen foods and varied invertebrate-based foods |
| Temperament | Semi-aggressive; calmer than many mbuna but still not a general community fish |
Use sand, rockwork and open swimming space. A ratio of one male with several females helps reduce pressure, and tank mates should be compatible Lake Malawi cichlids rather than soft-water community fish.
