Product Description

Apistogramma cacatuoides, commonly known as the Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid, is one of the most popular and beginner-friendly dwarf cichlids in the aquarium hobby. Native to the Amazon basin, this species is loved for its vibrant coloration, dramatic extended fins, and active personality.
