Additional information

Apistogramma Agassizii (Agassiz’s Dwarf Cichlid)

The dwarf cichlid Apistogramma Agassizii, also known as Agassiz’s Dwarf Cichlid, is native to the Apure River in Venezuela.

They are also frequently referred to as Apistos because they are a species of the Apistogramma family.

It is a small, vibrant fish that would look great in any aquarium. They can be kept in a variety of aquariums and are simple to maintain.

From ancient Greek, the word “apistogramma” means “unreliable line.” The black line that runs across the body of many of these fish fades or deepens with age.

They also have a lot of personality.

II. You would love the fish because…

Small and vibrant, the Agassiz’s Dwarf Cichlid is a fish. Males reach lengths of around 3 1/2 inches (8.9 cm), whereas females only reach 2 to 2 1/2 inches (6 cm). They have a lifespan of about five years.

The region in which it is caught or whether it is bred in captivity for coloring determines its color. Agassizi cichlids caught in the wild are more colorful than captive-bred varieties, but they are also more sensitive. The colors that are available are blue, gold, and red. When a captive-bred and a wild caught animal are bred together, the lines stay healthier.

The male is brighter. The male is generally described as having a red upper back and a green lower back. Below and parallel to the green of the lower back, there is a horizontal black band that extends from the nose to the tip of the tail fin. Below the black band, coloration can range from blue to green to yellow.

Typically, the belly is yellow. Gold or green marks cover the face, and the forehead is yellow. Orangish red in color, the dorsal fin has a sharp point at the end. White lines run from light blue to blue on the caudal fin, which ends at a point.

Other fins range from blue to green. Females are yellow in color and have markings that are similar to those of males, but they do not have the long fins or the intense color of males.

In addition to their regular teeth, all cichlids and some saltwater fish, including wrasses and parrotfish, have well-developed pharyngeal teeth in the throat. The anal, dorsal, pectoral, and pelvic fins of cichlids have spiny rays in the back to deter predators.

These fins have a soft front end that is ideal for swimming at a leisurely pace rather than for precise positions and effortless movement in the water.

While other fish have two sets, cichlids only have one nostril on each side. After being “sampled” for a brief period of time or for a longer period of time, depending on how much water the cichlid needs to “smell,” they suck in water and immediately expel it back out.

Cichlids and saltwater damselfish are thought to be related because they share this characteristic.

The fish’s size in inches: 3.5 inches (8.89 cm) – The male attains a length of approximately 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) or slightly more, whereas the female attains a length of approximately 2.5 inches (6 cm).

III. Is this fish species peaceful or hostile?

Peaceful and hardy.

IV. Species compatibility

It is possible to keep Apistogramma Agassizii with a variety of other fish species. Smaller tetras, barbs, and danios are excellent tank companions for Apistos.

Apistos thrive in community tanks and will assist in controlling the other fish. They can also be kept with discus and angelfish, two of the more tranquil cichlids.

Apistos should not be kept with aggressive fish because they may get stressed or injured.

V. How to feed this species?

In the morning, feed tetra-min pellets or Topfin flakes, and at 5 o’clock, feed frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, or mysis. When I have the opportunity to raise some, I will occasionally put them on a full-live brine shrimp diet.
