Josh Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Aulonocara aquilonium , keep them a while back. Very nice plain Peacock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I didn't keep a big variety, but I really liked the A. hueseri. It never made sense to me why they weren't more popular. I guess there are so many on the market that the "fans" of each slightly different variety get stretched quite thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzFish Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I always liked aulonocara ethelwynnae, followed by aulonocara baenschi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosco Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Like aussie said it is hard to choose but baenschi Benga and ngara flametail are my top two followed by most of jacobfreibergi mainly due to their awesome finnage. Cheers Rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
