{"product_id":"apistogramma-borelli","title":"Apistogramma borelli","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe umbrella dwarf cichlid (\u003cem\u003eApistogramma borellii\u003c\/em\u003e) comes from the Paraguay and Paraná drainages, further south than most of the genus, and that southern origin is why it copes with cooler water than its Amazonian relatives. Males show yellow through the body with blue washing across the face and throat; the Opal line is selected for that colouring. It is a genuine dwarf, with males staying small and females smaller again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolerates a wider temperature range than most \u003cem\u003eApistogramma\u003c\/em\u003e, including cooler room-temperature tanks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot demanding about water chemistry, but does want it clean and stable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSand substrate, wood, leaf litter and small caves to occupy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeaceful for a cichlid; suits a pair or one male with two or three females.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentle flow and subdued light, with plants breaking up the floor space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes small frozen and live foods alongside a good dry food.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the easier dwarf cichlids to start with, and a reasonable choice for a modest community tank of small, calm fish.
