Mikrogeophagus

1

Mikrogeophagus is a genus of cichlids native to the Llanos wetlands (Orinoco basin) and GuaporéMamoré river system (southern Amazon basin) in tropical South America. They are dwarf cichlids that reach up to 6 cm in standard length. They are popular with aquarists, especially M. ramirezi. These species spawn on flat rocks or leaves and not in small caves like the closely related cichlid genus Apistogramma.
