Nannacara adoketa 4–5 cm

Amazonian dwarf cichlid – territorial, intense and colourful

Nannacara adoketa is a South American dwarf cichlid renowned for its assertive character and spectacular colouring, combining bluish reflections and intense red on its fins.

Offered here in sizes 4–5 cm, these are young sub-adults in the midst of growth. An ideal species for experienced aquarists wishing to keep a pair in a specific tank or suitable community tank.

Behaviour and maintenance

  • Territorial, especially during the breeding season
  • Maintenance in pairs recommended
  • May intimidate fish that are too calm or small

A well-structured aquarium with roots and hiding places is essential to limit tension.

Feeding

Carnivorous / micro-predator

  • Artemia, bloodworms, daphnia (live or frozen)
  • High-quality pellets for cichlids
  • Varied food to promote colouring

Rich and varied diet recommended for optimal growth.

Water quality

  • Temperature: 24–28 °C
  • pH: 5.5–7.0
  • GH: 2–8 °dGH
  • KH: 0–4 °KH

Prefers soft to slightly acidic water that is well filtered and stable.

Decor and environment

  • Natural roots and caves
  • Catappa leaves possible
  • Sandy substrate recommended

A densely planted tank with shaded areas encourages more natural behaviour.
