The Apistogramma cacatuoides “Super Red”, also known as the Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid, is a popular freshwater fish among aquarists—and for good reason!
Stunning Appearance
Their bright red fins and vibrant body colors make them a striking centerpiece in any aquarium. The males, in particular, display flashy fins and bold patterns.
Peaceful Nature
Unlike many cichlids, this species is relatively peaceful and does well in community tanks with other calm fish.
Intelligent & Engaging
They’re curious, interactive, and intelligent. These fish recognize their owners and may even follow your finger across the glass.
Easy to Breed
Super Reds are excellent for beginner breeders. With the right setup, they readily spawn and care for their young.
Small Tank Friendly
Being dwarf cichlids, they don’t need massive tanks. A 20-gallon tank is usually enough for a pair.
Ideal For:
Aquarists who love colorful, intelligent fish
Hobbyists interested in breeding
Those looking for a manageable and peaceful cichlid
