Aulonocara hueseri

The Night Aulonocara also called the White Top Aulonocara is found from Likoma, Domwe and Thumbi West Islands, Monkey Bay, Nankumba and Nkhata Bay. These are cichlids with a fairly high back, the side of which is moderately flattened. Special for the Aulonocara are clearly visible grooves in the head. Presumably, there are sensory organs that help the fish detect food. These grooves run up from the corner of the mouth to the top edge of the gill cover. Provide enough hiding places in the form of rocks with holes in between. A sandy bottom is required because the Aulonocara is looking for food in the sand.
