Red Gold Hongsloi (Apistogramma hongsloi)

5 In stock

Remarks: Males will have longer, pointed fins and more color. Females will turn bright yellow with black fins when in breeding dress. Apistogramma hongsloi is a larger species of Apistogramma and will work well as a pair in a 20 gallon tank. A sandy substrate is necessary due to their earth-eating habits. The tank should be furnished with several caves or nooks to protect and spawn in. Cichlid caves, overturned flower pots, and leaf litter work well. 

Breeding is achieved by feeding live baby brine shrimp to an adult pair and providing a proper tank setup. Fry are guarded by one or both parents for several weeks. Dither fish such as small tetras and livebearers can be used to provide parents with targets to chase.
