The Strawberry Cichlid (Aulonocara sp.) is admired for its vivid red and pink coloration, giving it a distinctive strawberry-like appearance. Native to Lake Malawi, these cichlids are moderately peaceful and best kept with other semi-aggressive cichlids.
Strawberry Cichlids thrive in planted and rocky tanks with plenty of hiding spots. Males display brighter colors during breeding and may become territorial, so providing space and caves is essential. Their graceful swimming and eye-catching colors make them a favorite among hobbyists seeking a vibrant African cichlid.
