Apisto agassizii 'Blue Flame', Male

Source: Aquarium Bred and Raised Estimated size at shipping: 0.5-2" Adult Size: around 2-2.5" Sold as: Male Overview: Males have an amazing electric blue body with a bright orange tail that looks like a flame. One of the most stunning morphs I've ever seen. Females develop a golden hue, but lack most of the blue and red. Some of these are juveniles that have yet to develop their color. They will become beautiful as they grow. Apistogramma are relatively peaceful, dwarf cichlids from South America known for their amazing colors. Several species have been line bred for even more color and have multiple color morphs. They are great centerpiece fish for smaller aquariums. Setup Considerations: Apistos do well in planted tanks. They really appreciate caves and will gladly make them their territory. If keeping them in groups, line of site blocks are a great way to establish boundaries for territories. Diet: Omnivore Apistos are omnivores and do well on a varied diet. Most aren't picky so flakes and pellets work well. Live/frozen foods should be supplemented as well for best health and color. We typically feed a rotation of Aquarium Coop Easy Community Floating Pellets, Xtreme Krill Flake, Xtreme Monster Pellets, algae flakes, algae wafers, and the occasional treat of brine shrimp or blood worms.
