Apistogramma bitaeniata, the Two Striped Dwarf Apisto
 

The Two Striped Apisto, Apistogramma bitaeniata is an incredibly variable species, with numerous wild colour forms existing, including the Red Striped, Blue Striped, and Yellow Striped, as well as some other location varieties, such as Rio Tigre. All of these are currently the same fish, though some forms may be elevated to species status in the near future. It is imperative that these strains not be mixed, as these may result in hybrids.
The Two Striped Cichlid is a generally hardy Apistogramma, and exceptionally peaceful. These fish mix well with other small, peaceful fish, such as Glowlight Danios, Hatchetfish, Pencilfish, and Pseudomugil spp. rainbowfishes.
