Flame tail Peacock - Aulnocara stuartgranti "Ngara"

The Flame Tail Peacock is a stunning African cichlid prized for its dramatic sexual dimorphism and vibrant coloration. Males display deep metallic blue bodies accented with brilliant fiery red-orange on the tail and dorsal fin—colors that intensify with age and social dominance. Females present a more understated appearance in silvery gray with subtle vertical barring. Males reach 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) while females stay slightly smaller around 10 cm (4 inches), making them suitable for established aquariums. Their temperament is generally peaceful to mildly aggressive compared to other peacock cichlids, allowing for community setups with compatible tank mates. These omnivores thrive on varied diets including quality pellets, frozen foods, and vegetable matter. Provide stable water conditions, adequate space for natural behaviors, and hiding spots to support their well-being in captivity.
