Apistogramma Macmasteri Dwarf Cichlid
We import our Macmasteri apistogramma from Colombia. This species is one of the hardiest of the wild apistos.
Apistogrammas and rams are the smallest cichlids and are very adaptive to planted and community tanks. Males are very beautiful.
Smaller fish have shorter lives, and apistogrammas generally live four years, with the exception of the Hongsloi, which lives to seven years. There are two hundred different dwarf cichlids, and AquariumFish.com imports numerous species.

Received my Macmasteri cichlid in great condition. The fish is active and colors are vibrant. It’s easy to keep in a 10-gallon tank with live plants. Very happy with the purchase.

The fish arrived quickly and seems healthy. It’s small but very colorful, especially the male. I’ve kept it with other peaceful fish and it’s not aggressive.

Perfect for beginners. The fish adapts well to my planted tank. I’ve seen it swim around the plants and interact with the environment. Very satisfied.
