Yellow Peacock Cichlid (Aulonocara sp.). ?

Ok, so I've been stocking up my 55 Gal over the past few weeks & decided to
throw a pair of these guys in there. I need more females eventually, but
right now it's 1 & 1.
Can anyone fill me in on the habits, preferences, etc. of this species? They
don't look like any other cichlid I've seen, esp. with the large eyes and
long fins...


thanks

Very fun fish, usually if there are no other hostile fish around, they'll be
peaceful, to a point... They'll probably be fine until you introduce a
female into the mix, then you better have 3F for every M, and then it'll get
interesting.... I've had 3 different peacocks, jacobfreirgi(sp), lemon jake,
and Mozambique(sp) and they were gorgeous... docile, good temperment and not
aggressive, and they were in a malawi tank and got harrassed by a zebra, so
they went to a friends house....
