Aulonocara stuartgranti, which has a lot of geographical variants, can be found all around the lake. All these variants have their own specific color pattern and also different trade names, like "Cobue" is one of them. Aulonocara stuartgranti Cobue is found near Cobue and Thumbi West in intermediate zones from rocks to sand. Aulonocara stuartgranti Cobue is searching the sand for food and lives mainly of the invertebrates they find in the sand. They are quietly hanging above the sandbottom and "listen" to the sand. When they "hear" their prey, they take a big bite of sand and jig this sand through their gills so that the invertebrates stay in their mouth. It's a quiet, peaceful cichlid which can be hold best with other quiet species, mbuna are generally too aggresive.
