I am adding a new section called Aulonocara. I am asked so many varying questions about these Malawi "peacocks", I have decided to start writing about my experiences with the various species and locations that I am familiar with. It will be a slow process as I have kept Aulonocara now for over 30 years. We have also acquired several wild peacocks from several locations from Lake Malawi, some of which I have never had before. One hybred "peacock" that I plan on doing more research on is the "Dragon blood".

I am also becoming intriqued with breeding Synodontis multipunctatus. I am planning on trying out several different African cichlids to be used as host fish. I have bred multipunctatus for a long time with varying degrees of success. The plan is to breed multipunctatus with peacocks and haplochromis to see what produces the best results. So far peacocks are winning !    

Take a look at this wild Cyphotilapia frontosa Mpimbwe blue ! I have had a lot of wild Mpimbwe frontosa but I do believe this is the best I have seen. Fortunately, I now have fry from this male for sale !
