These wild caught, Peruvian Apistogramma seem to be fairly similar to Apisto. njisseni, both in appearance and in behaviour. Like most wild Apistogramma, it is important to keep these fish in conditions somewhat similar to their natural habitat; they will do best in an acidic to slightly acidic pH, low hardness, and warmer temperatures. Leaf litter, driftwood, and other tannin producing decorations are highly recommended.
Suggested tank mates for these fish would include any other neotropical tetras, pencilfish, or hatchet fish. Smaller members of the rainbowfish genus Pseudomugil also mix well with these fishes.
