Apisto Cacatuoides Double Orange (Pair)
The male Cockatoo or Apistogramma Cacatuoides dwarf cichlid is truly magnificent when he grows to his full two-inch size, but the red bred variation is something else entirely. Females are a bit drabber but still have nice yellow and red coloration. AquariumFish.com pairs these items because the male is happier with a female around and displays his colors better.
Each order comes with one male and one female.

The double orange coloration is vibrant and stands out in the tank. The male shows off his colors well when with the female. Easy to set up and maintain. Great for a small community tank.

The pair works well together. The male is more active and colorful when with the female. Tank conditions are simple to manage. Slightly less colorful in low light, but still impressive.

Received the fish in perfect condition. The colors are bright and the fish are active. I’ve kept them for two months and they’re still healthy and happy.
