Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid (Apistogramma cacatuoides Super Red - 3-4cm)

Add bold color and personality to your freshwater setup with the Apistogramma cacatuoides "Super Red", a striking dwarf cichlid loved for its vivid red-orange finnage and confident character. This beautiful South American species is a favorite among aquarists looking for a centerpiece fish that stays relatively compact while still bringing movement, color, and personality to the tank.

The Super Red variety is especially popular for its intense coloration, with males developing extended fins and bright red highlights that stand out beautifully against planted aquariums and natural hardscape. While generally peaceful in a well-planned community, they do best with calm tankmates and plenty of hiding spots.

Ideal for planted tanks and soft, warm water setups, Apistogramma cacatuoides "Super Red" can thrive when given high-quality food, stable water conditions, and territories formed by caves, driftwood, or rocks.
