The Flavescent Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara stuartgranti 'Usisya') is a dazzling freshwater species celebrated for its golden-yellow hues and shimmering blue accents. Native to the Usisya region of Lake Malawi, this peaceful cichlid is a striking addition to African cichlid setups. Its manageable temperament and vivid colours make it a favourite for aquarists seeking a bold yet harmonious tank inhabitant. Perfect for intermediate to experienced aquarists, this species thrives in well-established tanks with sandy substrates and rocky caves for shelter. Males display more intense colouration than females, making them ideal for display tanks. Pair with compatible African cichlids or keep in species-specific setups for optimal colour expression and breeding success.
