Apistogramma Agassizii Gold Fire Red

The Apistogramma Agassizii Gold Fire Red seriously has a crazy name but also some seriously crazy colours! This Apistogramma has amazing shared of bright oranges, blues, purples and reds. Apistogramma are a dwarf South American cichlid and this colour form of the agassizii looks like a fire cracker in simple terms. One interesting thing to note is that this colour form of the agassizii was created from selectively breeding the wild coloured form. This fish would be a great long term addition to a display community aquarium and would be a real eye catcher to look at.

This form of apistgramma is not an extremely shy species and will readily present its personality to its owners and not shy from showing itself off. This dwarf cichlid would do best with other small community fish such as gouramis, tetras and corydoras. naturally the wild colour Apistogramma agassizii habitat is South America.
