FOR APISTOGRAMMA

SELECTIONS PERFECT FOR THESE ENDEARING DWARF CICHLIDS!

If you follow us, you know that we're HUGE fans of those cool dwarf cichlids from South America, the genus Apistogramma. And we're not alone! With numerous beautiful varieties now being kept and bred by hobbyists worldwide, there is little doubt as to why they're so loved! 

Many of them come from aquatic habitats which are filled with leaf litter and botanicals, and they're quite comfortable living in and among this stuff in the aquarium as well! They utilize these natural materials for foraging, hiding, and spawning. It was only appropriate that we assemble some of our favorites from among our extensive collection that we think are perfect for an aquarium featuring these dynamic fishes! 

These recommendations can serve as a "starting point" for you to curate your very own "Apisto-centric" botanical aquascape!
