The Aulonocara «Saffron» is an aquarium-bred peacock line in an intense saffron orange, with light speckles on every scale and white-and-yellow dotted fins. It is not a wild species, and we say so when we sell it.
This fish is a male of about 20 cm, already in full adult color: the photos show the fish for sale, in our tank and in hand.
Like all peacocks, it is calm, swims in open water and sifts the sand for food. At this size it needs a large tank, 400 liters or more, with fine sand and room to swim. It does well with other peacocks and calm haps of similar size; avoid aggressive mbuna. Food: quality cichlid pellets with krill or mysis.
