The Apistogramma alacrina is a peaceful, community-friendly cichlid often admired for its vibrant yellow coloration and striking blue highlights, especially among males. Known to be relatively peaceful but territorial during breeding, it's best to keep them in a biotope setting reflective of their natural habitat, with leaf litter, driftwood, and dense vegetation.
