''Apistogramma nijsseni'' is a species of cichlid fish, endemic to highly restricted local black water habitats in the Quebrada Carahuayte, a small stream in the Ucayali River drainage, southern Peru. The male reaches a maximum length of , the female remaining somewhat smaller. ''Apistogramma'' brooding females assume a bright yellow and black aposematic coloring: in ''A. nijsseni'', unusually, a healthy, unstressed female retains this coloring. The species is popular aquarium fish amongst dwarf cichlid hobbyists,〔Linke H, Staeck L (1994) ''American cichlids I: Dwarf Cichlids. A handbook for their identification, care and breeding.'' Tetra Press. Germany. ISBN 1-56465-168-1〕 though it does not often appear in the general pet fish market. The species is named after the Dutch ichthyologist Han Nijssen〔(''Apistogramma nijsseni'' Kullander ) - Naturhistoriska riksmuseet〕 ==See also== *Cichlid *Dwarf cichlid *Apistogramma *List of freshwater aquarium fish species 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apistogramma nijsseni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
