Inirida dwarf cichlid

Apistogramma iniridae reaches 5-6 cm. The male has a silvery blue body with green highlights, a bright yellow dorsal fin, and a yellow caudal fin. The female is smaller, pale yellow with a black stripe. This species is little known and rarely imported. It lives in very acidic, mineral-poor waters. Its behavior is similar to other apistogrammas: territorial but peaceful. Breeding occurs in a cave; the female turns intense yellow.
