Description
Apistogramma trifasciata pairs are a species of dwarf cichlid found in South America. They are a popular choice for aquarium owners due to their striking coloration and ease of care. They are a pair-bonding species, meaning that they form strong social bonds with one another. Males are typically larger and more brightly colored than females, with bright yellow bodies, dark vertical stripes, and red markings on the head and fins. Females are typically more drably colored than males, but they can still display a variety of colors. They prefer soft, acidic water and do well in planted aquariums with plenty of rockwork and hiding places. Apistogramma trifasciata pairs are peaceful, but may become aggressive towards other fish if they feel threatened. They are also known to be territorial, so it is important to provide plenty of space for them to swim and hide.
