Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: semi-aggressive
  • Diet: carnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters)
  • Compatibility: Best kept with other Lake Malawi cichlids of similar size and temperament. Avoid overly aggressive species or very timid fish. Males can be territorial, especially towards other male Aulonocara.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-filtered aquarium with plenty of rockwork for hiding and establishing territories. A sandy substrate is preferred as they are 'sand-sifters'. Regular water changes are crucial to maintain water quality. Provide a diet rich in protein, such as high-quality cichlid pellets, frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and krill.
