{"product_id":"apistogramma-rio-mamore","title":"Apistogramma Rio Mamore","description":"\u003cp\u003eApistogramma Rio Mamore hail from the Mamore river basin of Bolivia. Growing up to 6cm in length, with females staying smaller at around 4.5cm, these dwarf cichlids are renowned for the male's bright red, rounded tail, elongated dorsal fin lappets and prolonged pelvic fins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApistos are best kept as a harem of one male to two or three females. Males are fiercely territorial towards other male apistos, so only keep one male per aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo mimic their natural environment, consider a soft sand substrate for sifting, with leaf litter, driftwood, caves and dense planting to create hiding places and break up lines of sight. They prefer a gentle flow, and the females spawn in a cave and guard the eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApistos will eat small shrimp, and boisterous or fast moving fish may stress them, so be mindful when choosing tank mates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApistos are carnivores. At Wirral Aquatics we feed our apistos live and frozen foods including brine shrimp, bloodworm, daphnia and mysis shrimp. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wirral Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":53763394699592,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pair","offer_id":53763394732360,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/1364\/7944\/files\/da7a9dbe-b9d1-40ff-94d3-3419ace0d0dc-c4cb938c.jpg?v=1794359389","url":"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/apistogramma-rio-mamore","provider":"Wirral Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
