Panda Dwarf Cichlid

Apistogramma nijsseni

Ask Finn

A striking dwarf cichlid from Peru named for the bold black-and-white panda-like markings on females, which display a vivid black ventral region and black fin markings when brooding. Males are larger with more subdued coloration; the species is best kept as a pair in a well-planted 20-gallon tank with soft, acidic water and low to moderate flow.
