Characteristics of Apistogramma Cacatuoides

In terms of personality, apistogramma cacatuoides are usually a very peaceful tropical fish species that get on well with communities of other dwarf cichlid or schooling fish varieties. However, male apisto cacatuoides can become territorial during breeding season, so it’s essential to have a large enough tank to accommodate. Males also tend to live in harem communities, so for apisto cacatuoides to thrive it’s advisable to have one male to several females.Apistogramma cacatuoides are much hardier than many other dwarf cichlid varieties, and although care needs to be taken with water conditions they aren’t as sensitive to things like temperature and water hardness as other tropical fish. Apistogramma cacatuoides will thrive in water of moderate hardness and neutral pH level, and in temperatures of anywhere between 74 and 80 degrees.

The characteristics of apistogramma cacatuoides not only make them an especially beautiful and hardy variety of tropical fish, but also one of the most popular dwarf cichlid species.
