Scientific name: Apistogramma Velifera

Origin : The geographical distribution of the species is restricted to the Inírida River Star region and the confluence of the Orinoco-Ventuari delta. There are only eight records of collection of the species and it is only registered in five threat-based locations in the Orinoco-Ventuari confluence. The Venezuelan population faces an exponential deterioration of the habitat (from Mesa Salazar, 2022)

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.
