Males display striking red, orange, and blue tones along their fins and body, often with elongated dorsal and tail fins. Females are smaller and more subdued in colour but turn a bright yellow when guarding eggs or fry. Their beautiful colours and interesting breeding behaviour make them a favourite for planted aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1g83pne\" data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"584\"\u003eNative Location\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"790\"\u003eThis species originates from \u003cstrong data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"626\"\u003eColombia\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly within the \u003cstrong data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"675\"\u003eOrinoco River basin\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it inhabits slow-moving streams, forest creeks, and shallow waters rich in leaf litter and submerged roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"p77osj\" data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"802\"\u003eSize\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"927\"\u003eAdult males typically grow to around \u003cstrong data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"865\"\u003e5–7 cm (2–2.7 inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e, while females usually reach about \u003cstrong data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"926\"\u003e4–5 cm (1.5–2 inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"18j4qf3\" data-start=\"929\" data-end=\"952\"\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003eApistogramma macmasteri thrives in \u003cstrong data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1021\"\u003esoft to moderately hard water\u003c\/strong\u003e with a temperature range of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1050\" data-end=\"1061\"\u003e24–28°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. A well-planted aquarium with driftwood, leaf litter, and caves provides the ideal environment. Since they are cave spawners, small shelters such as coconut shells, rock caves, or ceramic tubes should be provided. Gentle filtration and stable water conditions help maintain their health and coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"19295la\" data-start=\"1366\" data-end=\"1383\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1777\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThis species is \u003cstrong data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1445\"\u003egenerally peaceful but mildly territorial\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially during breeding.
