In trade Aulonocara jacobfreibergi 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 jacobfreibergi "Cape Maclear" 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 rather be able against the territorial behaviour of the "mbuna" than other Aulonocara types. About one year ago, I placed 10 young fish in this aquarium. It appeared to be 3 males and 7 females. The males in this aquarium are about 9-12 cm. They behave peaceful against other inhabitants except in mating-season, then the male chases any fish away that comes too close to his territory. I also have found some young ones of this species between the rocks. |
