Apistogramma regani

Fish

Apistogramma regani is a small South American dwarf cichlid, a freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae. It lives in the lower Rio Negro basin, part of the Amazon River system, where it occupies a benthopelagic freshwater habitat in warm tropical water. FishBase gives a maximum length of about 4.9 cm standard length for males and about 5.0 cm for females, with a published maximum weight near 2.3 g, which makes it one of the smaller members of its genus. The species name honours the British ichthyologist Charles Tate Regan. FishBase classifies it within the subfamily Geophaginae of the order Cichliformes, and its IUCN Red List status is Least Concern, last assessed in October 2020.
