Apistogramma Caetei Overview

The Apistogramma caetei, also known as the Caeté Dwarf Cichlid, is a stunning freshwater fish from the Amazon Basin in Brazil. These colorful, small cichlids are popular in the aquarium hobby due to their vibrant blue and yellow hues, making them a striking addition to any tank.

Origin: 
Native to the slow-moving waters of the Caeté River and its tributaries in Brazil, this species thrives in densely vegetated areas with soft, acidic waters.

Feeding: 
Apistogramma caetei are omnivorous and enjoy a varied diet. In the aquarium, they do well on high-quality flakes, pellets, live foods (such as brine shrimp, daphnia), and frozen foods to maintain their health and color.

Tank Mates: 
Peaceful by nature, they can be housed with other small, non-aggressive species. Ideal tank mates include tetras, small rasboras, and peaceful catfish like Corydoras.

Aggression: 
While generally peaceful, males may display territorial behavior, especially during breeding. Providing hiding spots and space will help reduce aggression.

Experience Level: 
This species is suitable for aquarists with moderate experience. Understanding their specific water parameters and tank setup is essential for success.

Temperature: 24-28°C (75-82°F)
pH: 5.5-7.0
Hardness: Soft to medium (1-10 dGH)
Tank Size: Minimum of 20 gallons for a pair
