Usisya Peacock Cichlid is a Lake Malawi peacock locality form, best anchored as Aulonocara stuartgranti "Usisya". This fixes the old Usisia/Usyssia spelling residue while keeping the customer-recognisable Usisya name.
| Scientific name | Aulonocara stuartgranti "Usisya" |
|---|---|
| Adult size | About 12 cm |
| Care level | Intermediate |
| Temperament | Relatively peaceful for a Malawi cichlid, males still territorial |
| Tank size | 300 litres or more |
| Water | 22-26C, pH 7.5-8.5, hard alkaline water |
| Diet | Carnivorous/invertebrate-leaning cichlid diet |
Use open sand with scattered rock groups and caves rather than a tight mbuna wall. Usisya peacocks do best with calm Lake Malawi tank mates that will not outcompete them. Feed quality cichlid pellets with frozen mysis, brine shrimp or similar small invertebrate foods.
We dispatch livestock by licensed live-animal courier when conditions are suitable. Your order is covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee when the delivery guidance is followed.
