They are a type of dwarf cichlid. However, unlike many other cichlids, they are generally peaceful. They will thrive in aquariums of at least 20 gallons with sandy substrate and lots of hides or plants. Feeding Apistogrammas is not complicated as they will eat prepared foods, frozen foods or live foods. They are carnivores, so choose foods to meet their needs such as frozen bloodworms and carnivorous pellets. All pictures shown are for illustration purposes only. Actual products may vary due to natural variation with livestock.
