I have that problem

 

 

 

Unfortunately in Oz the 2 major suppliers continue to import these horrible excuses for Aulonocara, At the time of purchase they are extremely colorful enticing newcomers to buy them.
But after a few weeks the colors disappears and the new owner wonders why....... White crane has a lot to answer for
Some of the fish that come in are fantastic for a display only tank and if you keep the color food up to them they will continue to keep the color.
As for breeding with........ Only true Aulonocara (Peacocks) should be bred with one another to keep the strain true.

thanks for that, im not looking to breed them need to many tanks leave that for the pros
