These wild fish sometimes show up under the name of Apistogramma sp. "Rotpunkt", which simply translates to Red Point. These are a wild caught fish, but tend to be fairly forgiving of water condition.

In the aquarium, these are a peaceful fish which generally leave other fish alone. Unlike most Apistogramma, our experience has been that these fish get along well with each other, and males are generally fairly accepting of other males in the aquarium, provided there is plenty of space.

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.
