Apistogramma cacatuoides - Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid

Overview:

Apistogramma cacatuoides Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid is a widespread species of cichlid that originated from the tributaries and Amazon river basin of Colombia and Tabatinga in Peru.

These days, Apistogramma cacatuoides are very popular with most aquarists worldwide and commonly bred in captivity.

Characteristics:

The male Apistogramma cacatuoides have an average size of 8 centimeters in length, and their female counterparts are considerably smaller, with a usual size of 5 centimeters.

They have an elongated body and have a relatively big mouth with thick lips. The male cockatoo dwarf cichlid has a more vibrant color than the female. They both have a dorsal and caudal fin that has a usual shade of red/orange.

The female Apistogramma cacatuoides have normal dull coloration with a clear black line that runs along her flanks. Her background color is light yellow that turns brighter when mating or brood protecting.

These fishes have several colorations that form naturally in the wild such as yellow, blue, and red.

Feeding:

Primarily, Apistogramma cacatuoides are carnivores, and in the wild, the food of their choice are benthic invertebrates.

Here are the food that you could offer them

  • Bloodworm
  • Daphnia
  • Artemia
  • Flakes

Tank Requirements:

The cockatoo dwarf will thrive the most in a planted aquarium. The males are highly territorial, and because of that, it is ideal for keeping them in a group of three (1 male with two females) or on a harem situation (1 male with multiple females).

They should have peaceful tankmates like tetras and must be kept on a tank with a capacity of at least 20 gallons.

Branches and wood roots are a great addition to your tank since they can provide a space for your fish to hide and play. You can also add some soft and sandy subtrate to achieve a more natural appearance.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 22 – 29 °C
  • PH level: 5.0 - 6.0
  • Hardiness: 0 – 268 ppm, depending on the origin

There is some South American dwarf cichlid that can tolerate alkaline water.

Breeding:

Apistogramma cacatuoides lay their eggs on caves, crevices, under a leaf or cavities among the decors. Females are responsible for taking care of the eggs while the male ones guard the territory.

Monitor the fish once in a while since the females have a tendency of becoming hyper-aggressive. In that situation, the males should be transferred to a separate tank.

Small caddy that makes a big difference
Color: Black
I don't have counter space to spare, so having a dedicated spot for my sponges, dish brush, and soap right at the sink has been really convenient. Everything is corralled and easy to grab. The angled design drains directly into the sink, which keeps things from getting gross and waterlogged. There's a separated sponge compartment which I like, and it's big enough to hold a couple of sponges, a long dish brush, and a small bottle of dish soap all at once. It also just looks way nicer than my previous solution of stuffing everything into a jar. It's sturdy, hasn't gotten rusty or tarnished, and it just feels well made. Sometimes a small organizational upgrade makes your whole kitchen feel better and this is one of those. Also, very reasonably priced! For $11, this is a goodie.

Works well, spacious
Color: Black, Color: Black
Quality: This holder is actually really nice. It feels sturdy and well made, not flimsy or cheap at all. The material has a solid feel to it, and it holds everything in place without tipping or sliding around. Size and Capacity: This thing is bigger than I expected in a good way. There is plenty of space for multiple sponges, scrubbers, and even a small bottle of dish soap without everything feeling crammed together. It also has a removable compartment specifically for longer dish brushes, which is really convenient. It keeps them upright and separate so they are not just laying across everything else. Use and Functionality: The functionality is great. It is very easy to use and keeps everything organized and in one spot instead of scattered around the sink. One of the best parts is the drainage. Any excess water drains right back into the sink, and I have not had any issues with water pooling at the bottom. That alone makes a big difference in keeping things cleaner and less messy. Overall, It looks good, feels good, and does exactly what it is supposed to do. Good quality, very functional, and worth the price. Definitely a solid kitchen sink organizer.

Every kitchen needs one of these!!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Whoever designed this is absolutely brilliant!! I have had so many sponge holders that either sit on the edge of the sink and make a big huge mess or they’re attached to the inside of the sink with suction cups and they fall off and they get in the way. This one is absolutely perfect. It has a little tray built-in on a slant so when you set your sponge or whatever in there, the water runs down back into the sink. No more water puddling on the sink running onto the counter. This drains it right back in the sink automatically I am thrilled with this sponge holder !! It’s a nice color and very well-made. It’s metal but the drain tray is a hard plastic , which is fantastic because then it won’t rust. I am all about making things in life easier and this sponge holder not only looks great , it will eliminate cleaning up messes off the side of the sink. I posted a picture with water running into the sponge holder and it shows how the water runs down into the sink… It holds various sizes of sponges. It’s got a little area for a brush .I have a couple of my smiley sponges ( no names mentioned ) that fit in there perfectly.. every kitchen should have one of these without a doubt!!!
