In trade Aulonocara stuartgranti is offered in different color variants.
Young fish of this species all look the same, they all have the same brown stripe pattern like females.
However when they grow older and the males start coloring it`s easy to detect the males because of the color and larger fins. Nowadays (in the middle of 2021) I have a group of Aulonocara stuartgranti "Usisya" in my aquarium. These fish love to stay between the rocks but mainly they stay at the edge of rocky areas. It is an Aulonocara type which is not to be a match for the territorial behaviour of the "mbuna" like most of all other Aulonocara types. About one year ago, I placed 6 young fish in this aquarium. It appeared to be 2 males and 4 females. The males in this aquarium are about 12 cm. They behave peaceful against other inhabitants except in mating-season, then the males chase any fish away that comes too close to their territory. I also have found some young ones of this species between the rocks. |
