  These Mega Orange Apistos come from a trusted Florida breeder producing some of the richest, most color‑true Cockatoo lines around. Expect deep citrus fins, confident displays, and that classic Cockatoo charm without the wild‑caught unpredictability.

Males glow with intense orange dorsal and caudal fins, while females carry warm golds with subtle orange edging. Peaceful, expressive, and perfect for planted tanks, they settle fast and color up even faster.

 

✨ Highlights

  • Florida‑raised, small‑batch quality

  • Mega Orange saturation with extended fin rays

  • Peaceful dwarf cichlid for planted communities

  • Selective line breeding for color depth

  • Limited availability — premium‑standard drops only

 

 

🌍 Lineage Notes
