The Cockatoo Apistogramma (Apistogramma cacatuoides) is one of the most colorful dwarf cichlids, and is also quite easy to keep, but it is not often seen in amateur aquariums. From a taxonomic point of view, the cockatoo apistogram forms a group of the same name, the characteristic features of males of which are a large mouth, thick lips, elongated dorsal fins and zigzag stripes on the belly. In addition to A.cacatuoides proper, this group includes A.juruensis, A.luclingi and A.norberti. In nature, cockatoo apistograms were found on the territory of Peru in the so-called "white" waters of the Ucayali River basin. The first specimens of this species were caught in the vicinity of the city of Pucallpa, a few kilometers below the confluence of the Urubamba and Tambo rivers, which form the aforementioned Ucayali.
