Gold Agassizii Apistogramma ~2"
The Gold Agassizii Apistogramma (Apistogramma agassizii) is a species of freshwater fish that belongs to the cichlid family. It is a popular fish in the aquarium hobby due to its vibrant colors, interesting behavior, and relative ease of care. The Gold Agassizii Apistogramma is a small fish, reaching a maximum size of around 3 inches (7.5 cm). The males are typically larger and more colorful than the females, with brighter gold and orange coloration on their fins and body. One of the most interesting behaviors of the Gold Agassizii Apistogramma is their breeding habits. They are a monogamous species, meaning that they form pairs for breeding and will often stay together for life. The male will choose a site for the nest, usually a small cave or crevice, and then will entice the female to lay her eggs there. Both parents will guard and care for the eggs and fry until they are able to swim and feed on their own.
Overall, the Gold Agassizii Apistogramma is a beautiful and interesting fish that can make a great addition to a community aquarium. They are relatively peaceful and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive fish. However, as with all cichlids, they can become territorial during breeding and may become aggressive towards other fish. It is important to provide plenty of hiding places and territories to help minimize aggression.
