Apistogramma agassizii "Fire Red" — Breeding Pair (1M/1F)

For the 100% Live Arrival Guarantee please choose Next Day Air. We cannot guarantee live arrival on any other service. Our fish are packed well, but delays on slower services are outside our control.

Apistogramma agassizii "Fire Red" — one of the most striking color forms of Apistogramma agassizii, the Agassizii dwarf cichlid. Males develop deep red-orange bodies with a spade-shaped tail edged in fire red; females color up bright yellow when guarding a cave.

What you get: A breeding pair — 1 male and 1 female, adults, ready to pair off and spawn.

Care at a glance:

• Temperature: 78–82°F
• pH: 6.0–7.5 — tank bred and raised in moderately hard water, so they adapt to most tap water without RO
• Minimum tank: 20 gallon long for the pair
• Diet: Frozen and live foods, quality micro pellets
• Setup: Caves, driftwood, and cover — give the female her own cave and territory

Bred and raised right here in my fish room. These are not imported wild fish — they are eating prepared foods and already acclimated to normal tap water parameters.
