Apistogramma Schwarzkehl D29 F1 !RARE! – The Black-Throat Dwarf Cichlid

A rarely offered undescribed form, Apistogramma sp. Schwarzkehl D29 F1 is named for the dark throat patch that gives mature fish their German trade name (“black throat”). These F1 tank-bred juveniles carry wild-type pattern: warm gold-brown flanks, barred sides, and orange in the unpaired fins. Sold as Small (unsexed) only – uncommon stock for the Apistogramma specialist.

Apistogramma Schwarzkehl D29 F1 !RARE! Key Features

  • !RARE! D29 Form: Undescribed Schwarzkehl / D29 – seldom available as F1 tank-bred stock.

  • Black-Throat Pattern: Developing fish show the dark gular patch, barring, and warm fin color.

  • F1 Genetics: First-generation tank-bred from wild-type parents – hardy vs. wild imports.

  • Small Unsexed: Size tab is Small (unsexed) only – no Medium or Large placeholders.

  • Quarantined: Eating and treated before they leave our US facility.

Apistogramma Schwarzkehl D29 F1 !RARE! Care Requirements

  • Tank Size: 20+ gallons for a pair, heavy cover (caves, wood, leaf litter) so subdominants can break line of sight.

  • Water Temperature: 75–82°F (24–28°C).

  • pH Range: 5.0–6.8. Soft to moderately soft; tannins help color and reduce stress.

  • Diet: Frozen bloodworms, daphnia, brine shrimp, and micro pellets. Varied protein keeps growth even in unsexed groups.

  • Tank Mates: Peaceful tetras and Corydoras. Do not mix with other Apistogramma in a small tank.

Shipping & Care FAQ

Common questions about ordering, shipping, acclimation, and care. Have a different question? Contact us.

How long does fish shipping take?
All orders ship overnight via FedEx or UPS from our Philadelphia, PA facility. Most US addresses receive their fish within 16-24 hours of dispatch. We ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure fish arrive before weekend transit holds.
What is the Live Arrival Guarantee?
Every overnight shipment from Amazonia Tropical Fish LLC is covered by our 100% Live Arrival Guarantee. If a fish arrives DOA, we provide store credit — photo documentation within 2 hours of delivery is required.
How do I acclimate fish from Amazoniafish.com to my aquarium?
Float the unopened bag in your aquarium for 15-20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then drip acclimate over 45-60 minutes using airline tubing (1-2 drops per second) into a holding container. Net the fish into your tank without adding bag water. Dim lights for the first 24 hours.
How are the fish packaged for overnight shipping?
Fish ship in oxygenated double-bagged plastic bags inside insulated styrofoam boxes with heat or cool packs depending on season. Fishes are bagged with proper water-to-fish ratio. Boxes are clearly marked LIVE FISH on all sides.
Are the fish quarantined before shipping?
All wild-caught and imported fish undergo a multi-week quarantine at our facility. Specimens are prophylactically treated for internal and external parasites and verified to be eating well before being offered for sale. Domestic strains are quarantined for at least 1 week.
What if a fish arrives dead (DOA)?
Take clear photos of the deceased fish in the unopened bag within 2 hours of delivery and email us. We process Live Arrival Guarantee claims same-day — store credit is refunded to your account.
Do you ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or internationally?
We ship throughout the continental United States plus Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. International destinations are not supported due to live fish import regulations and shipping risks. We comply with Lacey Act and CITES regulations for all sales.
What water parameters should I prepare for my new fish?
Most South American tropical fish (angelfish, discus, apistogramma, tetras, corydoras) thrive in soft, slightly acidic water: pH 6.0-7.0, temperature 78-82°F. Specific parameters are listed in each product description. Wild-caught species benefit from blackwater botanicals (Indian Almond leaves, alder cones).
Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing?
Yes — wholesale pricing is available for licensed retailers. Visit our wholesale page for details and bulk pricing on premium tropical fish.
