Fire RED Dwarf Cichlid (Apistogramma agassizii) - Tank Bred

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

Apistogramma agassizii 'Fire Red' is a highly sought-after, selectively bred variation of the popular Apistogramma Dwarf Cichlid. The 'Fire Red' is named for the brilliant red-orange that saturates the male's fins, particularly the caudal (tail) and dorsal fins. This fiery red is beautifully contrasted by a shimmering body that exhibits glowing yellow, gold, and pink coloration, often highlighted by the Agassizii's classic elongated shape. Females are usually more dull in coloration.

Males reach an adult size of about 3 inches and females tend to be a little smaller. Making them ideal for a smaller aquariums, we recommend at least 10 gallons for a breeding pair.

To replicate their native habitat, we recommend a sandy substrate and ample hiding spots like plants, caves and drift wood.
