Apistogramma Agassizii Double Red

Introducing the Apistogramma Agassizi Double Red - a captivating gem for your aquarium! Known for their exquisite appearance, this stunning variety of Apistogramma, scientifically named Apistogramma agassizii sp., showcases a kaleidoscope of colors, with their fins adorned in a vibrant double red hue. These captivating Dwarf Cichlids possess the fascinating behaviors of their larger relatives, but in a conveniently petite size.

Apistogramma Agassizi Double Red will undoubtedly take center stage in your tank, showcasing their unique and lively personalities. Just like their larger counterparts, these fish are territorial and can exhibit aggression towards other tank mates. However, their captivating mating rituals provide a mesmerizing spectacle within your aquarium. Males often engage in polygamous relationships, breeding with multiple females if available, and dutifully guarding the precious eggs throughout their development.

While these dazzling creatures require some experience to care for due to their semi-aggressive nature, intermediate to experienced aquarists will find great joy in nurturing them. Reaching a maximum length of 2.5 inches and boasting a lifespan of five to ten years, these conveniently sized fish offer longevity and enchantment to hobbyists and families alike.

To recreate the ideal conditions for the Apistogramma Agassizi Double Red, it is essential to mimic their natural habitat in the northern Amazon basin. They thrive in tanks with dense vegetation, rock structures, and soft, slow-moving water illuminated by ample lighting. Clear, highly oxygenated water is preferred, while large open areas allow for graceful swimming. We recommend using a sand substrate enriched with abundant leaf litter and other botanicals to create a comfortable environment. Providing caves or larger pods will enhance the likelihood of successful breeding in your tank. While these fish can coexist with schooling species such as Tetra and Rasboras, as well as other community species, their need for space and territorial nature during the breeding season should be taken into account.

Feeding the Apistogramma Agassizi Double Red is a delight, as they are natural omnivores with a preference for algae and plant leaves. Protein should form the majority of their diet, and we recommend offering a variety of live foods and protein sources. Our feeding regimen includes a mix of live foods such as baby brine, Daphnia, Bloodworms, Blackworms, and scuds. Additionally, we provide them with balanced and nutritious prepared foods such as Northfin Veggie, Community, and Bug Pro, ensuring their dietary needs are met.

Invite the captivating beauty and lively personalities of the Apistogramma Agassizi Double Red into your aquarium. With their striking appearance and captivating behaviors, these enchanting Dwarf Cichlids will create a mesmerizing aquatic haven for you and your aquatic community.
