Maulana Bicolor 500
Aulonocara sp. Maulana
Discover the enchanting Maulana Bicolor 500, a radiant dweller from the crystalline shallows of Lake Malawi's Chitimba area. Officially recognized as Aulonocara sp. Maulana, this species is admired for its electrifying blue and yellow coloration that punctuates its body and captures the attention of any aquarist.
Named for a diver from Stuart Grant’s team, with the “500” denoting its spot on Grant's export list, this cichlid is not only peaceful and relatively docile compared to its Lake Malawi counterparts but also offers a lively burst of color.
