Amazon aquarium shot of Apistogramma Cacatuoides.

3" (7.5cm), female smaller.
South America, Amazon basin
Water Temperature 24-28oC (75-82oF)
Water chemistry Soft and acidic, pH 5.5 - 6.8 preferred, though this species is more tolerant of slightly alkaline water than many other Apistogramma.
Males are larger and have dramatically elongated rays in the dorsal fin, giving rise to the common name.

This is one of the most popular and commonly available of the Apistogramma species, and several colour forms are available, such as the popular "Super Red" and "Double Red" varieties.

A warm welcome to TN, Catalin.
You caught that fish in a great POV, with all the fins sticking out.
Amazing colors! I really like the orange in the fins and tail.
Excellent sharpness and light, though the two white spots seem a bit overexposed.
Thank you for sharing this great shot. Looking forward to seeing more.
Happy New Year.
