Golden Apistogramma agassizi

This variation of Apistogramma agassizi is similar to the "Fire Red" variation, but its colors are less intense, making it a perfect centerpiece fish for "platinum"/albino themed stocking! In a 20 gallon or larger, you can stock the Golden Agassizi Apisto together with albino cardinal tetras, a mob of albino pygmy Cories, and even platinum rummynose tetras for the ultimate "Iced-Out" tank!

Apistogramma agassizi has many color variations and high variability in differing populations, with this variation gaining popularity in recent years due to its high contrast against lush green vegetation in planted tank arrangements.

The "Double Red Agassizi" is a hardy Apisto that tolerates a wide range of water parameters and will accept most foods available in pet stores, however, quality foods high in carotenoids will bring out the best red colors in this species. Of all the Apistogramma complexes, the Agassizi/Bitaeniata complexes seem the most aggressive with conspecifics, so it is recommended to have ample surface area at the bottom of the tank with plenty of foliage and shelter if housing more than one specimen in a tank.
