Three-stripe Dwarf Cichlid

Apistogramma trifasciata

Family: Cichlidae

📍 Paraguay & Mato Grosso, South America

Ask Finn

Stunning apisto with brilliant iridescent blue and red markings. Males are notably elongated and display vivid colour during spawning. Peaceful for a cichlid and works well in planted community tanks.
