Dwarf cichlid is a term used by

African rift lakes.[2][3]

Despite being called dwarf cichlids, males of Pelvicachromis pulcher frequently exceed the conventional maximum length of 12 centimetres.

Dwarf cichlids prefer aquaria with plenty of hard-leafed plants. They are generally shy, except when they're breeding, and are considered ideal for community tanks, though they should not be placed with other, non-dwarf, cichlids or other boisterous or aggressive species.
