Comments:

Aulonocara jacobfreibergi is one of the largest of the Aulonocara cichlids, males can attain a size up to 22cm, females somewhat smaller. Due to its brilliant range of colouration it is also one of the most popular Peacocks. Aulonocara jacobfreibergi differs from other Aulonocara species in its temperament, instead of being very peaceful like most of the Aulonocara genus, this fish tends to become quite aggressive at times.
