Apistogramma nijsseni, often called Nijssen’s Dwarf Cichlid, is a small but striking South American cichlid, with males showing elongated fins and females displaying intense yellow, black, and red coloration when breeding. In the home aquarium, it is more assertive than many apistogramma species, forming strong territories and displaying fascinating courtship and brood‑care behavior, especially in well‑structured tanks with caves and visual barriers. Despite its bold personality, it can be kept successfully with peaceful tankmates that occupy other areas of the aquarium. In nature, Apistogramma nijsseni is native to the Peruvian Amazon, where it inhabits slow‑moving, soft‑water forest streams rich in leaf litter and submerged roots.
