Apistogramma Agassizi Double Red: The Double Red Agassizi’s Dwarf Cichlid (Apistogramma cf. agassizii) is a variation of this superspecies that is incredibly colorful.
Adult males have a lot of red finnage and are also colored blue, violet, and yellow all over their bodies!
Apistogramma Agassizi Double Red Adult females, like the majority of dwarf cichlids, are less vivid in contrast, but they still have a considerable amount of colour (especially yellow and black with some red/orange accents) and an alluring appearance.
They also have a lot of personality.

II. You would love the fish because…
Apistogramma Agassizi Double Red has a beautiful coloration. They are hardy with plenty of persona. It is a stunning creature to breed in the aquarium
Pretty compatible with many other species in a spacious tank and will not bother most ornamental plants.
An aquarium with a sandy substrate and an abundance of hiding places, such as clay pots, driftwood, and rock formations, will support the Double Red Agassizi’s Dwarf Cichlid. Although it is a great choice for the planted aquarium, it also requires a good deal of open space. As long as it has lots of space, this cichlid gets along well with other calm fish. During spawning, territoriality is usually at its height.
The Double Red Agassizi’s Dwarf Cichlid should not be housed with dwarf shrimp or other small, delicate invertebrates; but, in a big, enough aquarium, larger, more robust shrimp and snails might make suitable tankmates. Other species in the tank should be maintained to a minimum or avoided entirely if spawning is desired.
