phylum Chordata Aulonocara is a genus of haplochromine cichlids endemic to Lake Malawi in East Africa. All Aulonocara species are maternal mouth brooders. Particularly in the aquarium hobby, Aulonocara species are also known as peacock cichlids or simply "peacocks". This genus is strongly sexually dichromic, even by haplochromine standards.
