 As
all know our general supplier for aquarium fish LiveAquaria.com and Drs.
Foster & Smith (same company) ended their online sales business, due to
state online sales tax issues. Thus links on fish for sale
no longer work as 02/22/10.
We are changing our tropical fish
suppliers now to "Aquarium-Club MEMBERS ONLY", so please stop back,
because we will have more tank raised fish shortly,
15 years of selling tropical fish online and
safely shipping fish and supplies to thousands of satisfied customers, without any
complaints!!!

General Information:
The Blue Peacock Cichlid,
Aulonocara stuartgranti, comes from the rocky, sandy shores of Lake Malawi,
Africa. The males are a bright yellow to metallic blue, whereas, the females
take on a drab brown to gray color.
The Blue Peacock Cichlid does well in an
aquarium that is at least 50 gallons with plenty of rocks for territories and a
sandy bottom. The males are usually only aggressive towards their own species
unless their territory is invaded upon. Provide a ratio of 3 to 4 females to one
male.
The male Blue Peacock's colors will become
more vivid during breeding time. The yellow will become more pronounced and his
temperament will become more aggressive. Again, provide multiple females for the
male, as it will take the stress off of the female carrying the eggs. Incubation
is approximately three weeks, at which time, the female will release the fry.
Provide the fry with newly hatched brine shrimp and finely ground flake food.
The Blue Peacock should be fed a variety of
both meaty and vegetable-based foods. Feed live and frozen brine shrimp along
with Spirulina-based flake and pellet foods.
