Cichlids are one of the most diverse fish families in the hobby. From tiny apistogrammas to massive oscars, this guide covers the basics of keeping them well.
Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Uaupesi Dwarf Cichlid Urubaxi Red is a specialist blackwater Apistogramma with beautiful colour and subtle behaviour. It rewards careful husbandry, but it should not be presented as a generic easy community fish.
Use a mature blackwater-style aquarium with very soft water, leaf litter, wood, caves and subdued lighting. Make changes slowly and keep water quality very stable, especially if attempting pair or breeding behaviour.
Choose quiet pencilfish, small calm tetras or Otocinclus where the water chemistry suits them. Avoid boisterous tank mates and other territorial bottom fish in small aquariums.
The metadata now corrects the name to Uaupesi and sells the right promise: a specialist blackwater Apistogramma with clear trust signals.. Eligible livestock orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee and are sent with a licensed live-animal courier when available.
