Apistogramma Cacatuoides Double Red

Apistogramma cacatuoides “Double Red” are one of the most striking dwarf cichlids in the hobby. They are packed with personality, vibrant color, and incredible display behavior in a manageable size. With their fiery red/orange finnage, bold patterning, and constant activity, they make a standout centerpiece for planted community tanks and dedicated South American setups alike.
