• Hardy and Easy to Care For: This hybrid variety is robust and well-suited for both novice and experienced hobbyists. They are a great entry point into the rewarding world of African cichlids.

Ideal Tank Mates:

• Other Aulonocara species (e.g., Eureka Red, German Red)

   

• Peaceful Haplochromis species (e.g., Placidochromis Electra)

   

• Synodontis catfish

   

Care Instructions:

• Tank Size: A minimum of 55 gallons is recommended for a small group.

• Diet: Feed a high-quality cichlid pellet or flake food. Supplement with frozen foods like brine shrimp or bloodworms to promote vibrant colors.
