Black Stripe Dwarf Cichlid

Source: Aquarium Bred and Raised Estimated size at shipping: 0.75-1.25" Adult Size: around 2.5-3" Sold as: Unsexed Overview: An amazing dwarf cichlid that is not often available. The current group is too small to sex accurately, so they are being sold unsexed. 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: These are currently eating well on frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp and live baby brine shrimp. 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.
