The Redfin Three-Striped Dwarf Cichlid (Apistogramma trifasciata) is a very colorful, but less common dwarf cichlid species that is still well appreciated in the aquarium hobby. Males have a yellow face with neon blue coloration across most of the rest of the body. As the males mature, they also develop a bright red margin on the dorsal fin. Females are mostly a vibrant yellow with some black coloration. As with virtually all dwarf cichlids, mature males have more vivid coloration than females.

Current Size – 3cm

Special Requirements – Fairly dim lighting is recommended and aquatic plant species that can survive under such conditions

Tanks Mates and Compatibility - Captive-raised fish are the recommended choice for the community aquarium. Wild examples are best maintained alone or with small ‘dither’ fishes such as Nannostomus spp., and ideally should not be mixed with other Apistogramma.

Ideal Number to Keep - It is preferable to keep a group consisting of several males with up to three times as many females in a larger set-up.

Feeding - In the aquarium live and frozen foods such as ArtemiaDaphniaMoina and chironomid larvae (bloodworm) should be offered regularly although most species will also learn to accept dried alternatives with pelleted products generally preferred to flake.

We recommend:

Please note – Some images used are library photos and will show the colour potential at a fully mature size, as our fish are juvenilles they may vary.

We always aim to supply the fish as close to the purchase size as possible. However if this is not possible, we will always contact you to discuss.

The fish are selected at random however you are welcome to make a note on the order and the fish manager will do his best for you. This is dependent on current stock at the time of your order.

    Review:
    Have bought a number of these fish both males and females. Unfortunately my fish weren’t happy with same sexes. From moment they went into my tank the fish started to try to dominate one another of same sex. Within a day I was left with one male and one female. But these fish are amazing. So colourful and full of character the male isn’t aggressive with female just curious.
