Description
The Apistogramma Agassizi Blue Flame is a vibrant and striking dwarf cichlid known for its brilliant blue coloration and long, flowing fins. Native to the slow-moving rivers of South America, this species adds a splash of color and personality to any freshwater aquarium.
Origin:®Found in the Amazon River basin, particularly in Peru, Brazil, and Colombia, these fish inhabit slow-moving, densely vegetated streams and tributaries.
Feeding:®Omnivorous by nature, Apistogramma Agassizi Blue Flame enjoys a varied diet of high-quality flakes or pellets, as well as live and frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and bloodworms.
Tank Mates:®Best kept with other peaceful species such as small tetras, Corydoras, and other dwarf cichlids. Avoid housing them with large or overly aggressive fish to prevent stress.
Aggression:®While generally peaceful, Apistogramma Agassizi Blue Flame can become territorial, especially during breeding. Males may show aggression towards each other, so it's ideal to keep a single male with multiple females.
Experience Level:®Recommended for intermediate to experienced aquarists due to their specific water parameter needs and territorial behavior during breeding.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 72-82°F (22-28°C)
pH: 5.5-7.0
Hardness: Soft to slightly hard (1-10 dGH)
This species thrives in well-maintained aquariums with clean, slightly acidic water, making regular water changes essential for their health.
