Fish Folk Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I've yet to try breeding Bolivians. They sure can develop once colors if well cared for. They really resemble mini geophagus -- much more than GBRs. I especially like the way that they display pink on their fin edges. I suspect that a diet reasonably high in carotenoids is helpful (e.g. brine shrimp, krill, vibra bites, Xtreme krill flakes, Bug bites color enhancing flakes, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your first time keeping them? Very exciting!

So Xtreme flake blend might be a good fit. They like to sift around in the substrate, so I'd tend to lean towards something like the nano pellets or a singing pellet (hikari vibra bites, bug bites, etc. works too).

plantedtanks1052 Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 @nabokovfan87 yes it is. I had a triple red apistogramma for 6 years before it past a week and half ago. I wanted another dwarf cichlid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
