− | + | |tank_compatibility=:This fish should not be kept with [[Mbuna]] Cichlids, but with more peaceful fish such as ''[[Copadichromis azureus]]'' and other ''Copadichromis'' species. Should not be kept with other ''Aulonocara'' as they will hybridise. | |
− | + | |diet=:Best fed with live/frozen foods such as chopped shrimp and [[brine shrimp]], will also accept dry foods. | |

− | :Males are substantially more colourful than the dull-coloured females. | + | |environment_specifics=:Prefers a rock set up with no plants with a sand substrate and well oxygenated. This fish is sensitive to nitrates so careful monitoring of water parameters is needed with frequent partial water changes. |
− | + | |behaviour=:A relatively peaceful Cichlid which should be kept with robust yet peaceful tank mates. Males may be territorial towards one another. | |
− | + | |identification=:This Cichlid is typical ''Aulonocara'' in shape with pointed anal, ventral and dorsal fins. It is generally yellow in colour with blue around the head, along the spine and through the fins. The anal fin is dusky yellow with blue spots and bands. The top of the dorsal fin is edged in white. The colours will vary depending on where the fish has been originally collected in the wild and is often mistakenly labelled as ''[[Aulonocara nyassae]]''. | |
