Diet

Primarily carnivorous, it feeds on small invertebrates such as insect larvae, worms, and tiny crustaceans, and in aquaria accepts quality frozen, live, and prepared foods like flakes and pellets.

Community Compatibility

Best kept in a species-only or carefully selected community tank with other small, peaceful fish that can tolerate slightly assertive behavior and similar water parameters.

Good to Know

The Titan Dwarf Cichlid, Apistogramma kullanderi, is a strikingly marked but relatively peaceful dwarf cichlid that can become territorial and feisty when defending its breeding area.

Gender Differences

Males are significantly larger, more intensely colored, and show more extended dorsal and caudal fins than the smaller, more subtly colored females.
