Care notes
Males display yellow body with blue upper half and orange-yellow dorsal fin. One of the most popular undescribed Aulonocara species in the hobby.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
