Scientific name: Apistogramma Piaroa 

Originally we where under the impression we had Apistogramma Megaptera however we are now convinced we have Apistogramma Piaroa instead.

Origin : Originally known from the upper Rio Negro, in the area around São Gabriel da Cachoeira on the Rio Uaupés in Amazonas state, northwestern Brazil but subsequently collected from the middle and upper Orinoco basin near the settlement of Puerto Ayacucho, western Venezuela and the Rio Inirida system in eastern Colombia.

Difficulty in keeping: Intermediate

Maximum size: 8-9cm Males 5-6 cm Females

Selling size: 3-4 cm and above

Temperature: 22 – 29 °C  (25°C preferred)

pH: 6-7.8 Our fish are bred and grown at a ph between 6.5 and 7.5

Diet: Primarily carnivorous and apparently feeds mostly on benthic invertebrates in nature. In the aquarium live and frozen foods such as Brine shrimp, Daphnia and Blackworms should be offered regularly although most specimens will also learn to accept dried alternatives with pelleted products generally preferred to flake.

Disclaimer: Photos are taken of our own fish and usually the breeding parents, photos are for reference only and actual fish you will receive might slightly vary.

Good quality 👌

Absolutely the best fish I've seen and bought. Have seen these at many aquariums. But must say these look way better and healthier. Thank you so much Blackwater Aquariums for the Absolutely beautiful fish you give 👏

Incredibly beautiful apistos

I really can’t explain how beautiful these fish are. The fish were well packed and they both settled in surprisingly quick after such a long 24 hours in transit. Will definitely be buying more fish off Blackwater aquariums
