Aulonocara baenschi is a cichlid living between rocky areas and sand. It's a very calm type which should be kept with other calm cichlids (preferably not with other Aulonocara types because they intersect with eachother).
The male can get a maximum length of 15 cm, females remain smaller.

The picture you see here is of a young male which I was having in my aquarium. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of this type.

They have had offspring multiple times, exactly beneath the rock on the picture. He made a small hole (more like cleaning the surface of the sand), and lured a female and then she disposes the eggs.
