Yellow Benga Sunshine African Peacock Cichlid — a stunning aquatic jewel that brings vibrant golden-yellow coloration to your tank.
• **Scientific Name**: Aulonocara stuartgranti (Sunshine variant)
• **Habitat**: Native to Lake Malawi, Africa. Thrives in rocky biotope environments with caves and crevices for shelter and breeding territories.
• **Water Parameters**: Temperature 74–82°F (23–28°C), pH 7.5–8.5, hardness 10–15 dGH. Stable conditions support optimal color and health.
• **Tank Mates**: Compatible with other peaceful to moderately aggressive Malawi cichlids of similar size. Avoid pairing with highly aggressive species or small fish that may be viewed as prey.
• **Size**: Reaches 4–5 inches at maturity. Suitable for 55-gallon aquariums or larger to accommodate behavior and territory.
• **Temperament**: Mouthbrooding cichlid with moderate aggression, especially during breeding. Males defend territories; females are less aggressive. Generally social within species.
• **Diet**: Omnivorous. Feeds on small invertebrates, zooplankton, and plant matter in the wild. Offer high-quality cichlid pellets, occasional live or frozen foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp), and vegetable-based options to maintain vibrant coloration.
The Yellow Benga Sunshine makes a beautiful addition to your aquarium, delivering both bold color and engaging natural behavior that enthusiasts appreciate.
