Apistogramma sp. D12Pacman Apisto

Description

Apistogramma sp. D12 is known commonly as the Pacman Apisto, for it has a spot on the caudal peduncle in the shape of the popular arcade character, Pacman. The bright yellow color of both males and females also helps them live up to their namesake. This species is not commonly imported, but is certainly a beauty to behold. A sandy substrate is necessary due to their earth-eating habits. The tank should be furnished with several caves or nooks to protect and spawn in. Cichlid caves, overturned flower pots, and leaf litter work well. Males will show their best colors when in the presence of females.
