Also known as Dwarf Cichlids, Apistogramma are colorful and lively fish that add energy to any freshwater aquarium. They're very curious and enjoy exploring their environment, often interacting with things outside their tank.
The name Apistogramma refers to their genus, which includes many species. As Dwarf Cichlids, they belong to the Cichlidae family.
These fish are native to South America, where they are typically found in the slow-moving rivers and streams of the Amazon basin. They can also be found along the edges of larger lakes, but they generally prefer shallower waters.
In home aquariums, Apistogramma are very popular because of their playful nature and attractive appearance. However, they're not suitable for beginners since they need pristine water conditions to stay healthy.
