Adult males are incredibly colorful and can display red, yellow, blue, orange, and purple coloration...sometimes all at once! As with most dwarf cichlids, adult females are less colorful by comparison, but still have a good amount of coloration (partiularly yellow and black with some red\/orange highlights) and have an attractive appearance with plenty of personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe \u003cspan\u003eAgassizi's \u003c\/span\u003eDwarf Cichlid will thrive in an aquarium with a sandy substrate and plenty of refuge such as clay pots, driftwood, and rock formations. It is an excellent candidate for the planted aquarium, but it also needs a fair amount of open space. This cichlid is generally compatible with other peaceful fish as long as it has plenty of room. Territoriality is typically at its peak during spawning. Dwarf shrimp and other small, delicate invertebrates should not be kept with the \u003cspan\u003eAgassizi's\u003c\/span\u003e Dwarf Cichlid, but more durable, larger shrimp and snails could possibly make good tankmates in a large enough aquarium. If spawning is desired, tankmates of other species should be kept to a minimum or avoided altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFeeding is simple for the unfussy \u003cspan\u003eAgassizi's\u003c\/span\u003e Dwarf Cichlid.
