| Origin |
Peru. |
| Social Behaviour |
Occasionally territorial but generally peaceful
fish. Keep one male with three females. The females
select small territories with the male commanding all. |
| Remarks |
An aquarium with a dark substrate and dense
vegetation brings out the colours. Also provide refuges in the form of rocks
and wood. Sometimes erroneously known as
Apistogramma amoena. |
