Apistogramma coloration ranges from silver to gold with red-orange highlights and red/black/orange in the fins.

Apistos are generally peaceful except when spawning. It is best to keep a pair, and as long as there is plenty of room, any other docile tankmates are fine. Provide the couple with a cave area and soft, dark substrate for spawning. Plants make great cover, as well. Feed brine shrimp, various larvae and worms, and flake, small pellet, etc.
