SPECIE NAME:Aulonocara stuartgranti
COMMON NAME OF THE SPECIE: Rubin Red Peacock
LOCATION: Endemic to Lake Malawi, where it is widely-distributed along both east and west coastlines.
HABITAT: Inhabits the so-called intermediate zones, where rocky shores give way to open expanses of sand with scattered rocks.
SIZE: UPTO 13 cm UPTO 0.2 kg
DIET: In the aquarium provide them with a meaty diet; pellets, frozen and freeze-dried daphnia, bloodworms and brine shrimp are excellent choices. Avoid tubifex worms as they contribute to a disease called "Malawi bloat." Shrimp mixes are also a good choice, and if you use the European Shrimp Mix, it costs less than other prepared foods and is just as nutritious.
FACT: These fish are members of the free-swimming Haplochromis group and will form schools. Keeping a breeding harem of one or two males with a number of females makes for a spectacular school of aquarium fish.
