The Viejita Cichlid is one of the best kept secrets when it comes to all of the apistogrammas. It is a colourful and calm cichlid that is fairly hardy and a good community fish. The male is a little larger and more colourful than the females and the fins are generally longer.

They like a densely planted aquarium with plenty of hiding places. We suggest you keep a few broken pots or caves within the tanks so that they have plenty of hiding spaces.

Tanks Mates and Compatibility - These little cichlids are timid fish and tank mates should be chosen to compliment this. As with most cichlids, they can become territorial during breeding. They can be kept with other dwarf cichlids.
