Like other wild-type Apistogrammas, it is noticeably more sensitive to water quality than domestic ram strains, so stable, soft water is a must.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Fire Red Apistos are territorial toward their own kind around a chosen cave but otherwise peaceful, spending most of their time picking through leaf litter and low cover in search of food. Their vivid colouration only fully develops once the fish is settled and stress-free, so a calm, well-established aquarium brings out the best in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eSpecies Snapshot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize Sold:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juvenile, approx. 2–3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60–80 L, densely planted with caves\/driftwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally peaceful, can be territorial when pairing\/spawning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26–29°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate (wild-type strains are less forgiving of unstable water than tank-bred colour forms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eIdeal Habitat and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA softly lit tank with leaf litter, driftwood and dense planting lets this shy wild-type Apisto feel secure; stable, soft, slightly acidic water is essential to its long-term health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26–29°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle, mimicking slow-moving Amazon tributaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular small water changes to keep parameters stable rather than large, sudden swings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA protein-rich diet brings out this fish's fiery colouration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality micro pellets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrozen bloodworm and daphnia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrozen or live brine shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest kept with calm, unhurried tankmates that won't crowd it out at feeding time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable tankmates include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall tetras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRasboras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorydoras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eWhy Buy From N8 Aquatics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarefully raised aquarium fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealthy, well-conditioned stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong genetics and vibrant colouration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreeder support if you have questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003ePickup Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eN8 Aquatics currently operates as a local pickup-only breeder in Central Queensland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are collected by appointment after purchase confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease ensure you are able to collect your fish before placing an order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #2d5f3f; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eImportant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll livestock sold by N8 Aquatics should be introduced to fully cycled aquariums suitable for the species being kept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease ensure your aquarium setup and tankmates are appropriate before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"N8 Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"3.5cm","offer_id":47863500734569,"sku":"PISCES-30129","price":41.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/n8aquatics.com\/products\/apistogramma-agassizii-gold-fire-red","provider":"N8 Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
