Description: There is little documented on this species.
Diet: This species should be fed a typical diet of live food, pellets and flake.
Breeding: Apistogramma similis, while not a great deal is known about it, presumably spawns its eggs much like any other Apisto does. Most Apistos tend to spawn in caves so it is recommended you create a cave-like environment for which it can retreat to.
Comments: Not a great deal of information is available on this species. Most dwarf cichlids can be housed in a 15 gallon tank.
