Apistogramma Macmasteri

Description

Originally collected in streams along the Andean Cordilera in Colombia, these Apistogramma have adapted well to the aquarium. In the wild they can be found in blackwater with a PH as low as 5.5-6.0 However, these have been bred in the same water as we keep our african cichlids in 7.2. Their diet is best maintained with a variety. Our Plankton Gold will really bring out their color. Also they should be allowed to snack on frozen brine shrimp or blood worms whenever possible. These would do well in a planted aquarium, and we love to keep them with Discus as they seem to help the discus come out of hiding and preform better socially.
