Super Red Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid

Super Red Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid (Apistogramma cacatuoides) are striking freshwater cichlids prized for their brilliant red-orange finnage, bold personalities, and fascinating behavior. Native to South America, these dwarf cichlids thrive in well-planted aquariums with driftwood, caves, and other hiding places. While generally peaceful, they can become territorial during breeding and are best kept with compatible tank mates.
