Overview

Panda Dwarf Cichlids show contrasting dark markings and subtle blue tones as they mature. Their breeding behaviour is fascinating, but they need soft water and carefully arranged territories.

Supplied size: 3 - 4 cm. Adult size is shown below.

English name Panda Dwarf Cichlid
Latin name Apistogramma panduro
Origin Peruvian Amazon tributaries
Adult size Males around 7-8 cm; females smaller
Typical lifespan 3-5 years
Temperament Territorial, particularly around breeding sites
Tank level Lower
Social needs Use a compatible pair; provide an immediate separation option if needed.

Tank Setup

Aquarium size At least 80 litres with a 75 × 30 cm base for one compatible pair.
Temperature 24-28°C
pH 5.0-6.5
Hardness 0-5 dGH
Water type Freshwater

Provide mature, soft acidic water, fine substrate, wood, leafy cover and several caves. Stability is more important than chasing an exact number with additives.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Territorial during spawning and not every male and female will form a compatible pair. Avoid crowding and choose calm companions.

Diet & Feeding

Offer small cichlid pellets and a variety of suitable frozen or live invertebrates.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium before adding livestock. Check temperature, appetite and behaviour daily. Test water regularly: ammonia and nitrite must remain at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned water matched to the aquarium's temperature and chemistry. Keep nitrate low and rinse biological filter media in removed aquarium water.

Click & Collect Only

You can order online for Click & Collect. We will confirm when your livestock is ready to collect from Newlands Home and Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. We do not deliver live fish or aquatic invertebrates. Please have a suitable, fully prepared aquarium ready before collection.
