Cichlids: Types, Care & Tank Planning
Cichlids are a family of roughly 1,800 accepted species, not one care type. Before buying, identify the exact species and source, then compare adult measurement, usable tank dimensions, social system, territory, tested water, diet and an exit plan. No family-wide minimum tank, water range or tank-mate list is safe.

Overview
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.
Quick Facts
| 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 |

Care and Compatibility
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.
