Yellow Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara sp. “Yellow”)

The Yellow Peacock Cichlid is a magnificent Aulonocara variant, distinguished by its uniform bright yellow coloration and golden reflections. Elegant, calm, and colorful, it is suitable for African aquariums where a blend of vibrancy and tranquility is desired. It integrates well into a sandy and rocky decor, typical of Malawi biotopes.

Tips:
Keep in a harem (1 male to 2-3 females) in a well-oxygenated aquarium of at least 200-250 L. It likes to sift through the substrate, so a sand substrate is ideal. Avoid overly aggressive tankmates to prevent dulling its colors or behavior. Its beauty is at its peak in a stable, calm, and well-maintained environment.
