Umbrella Cichlid
Apistogramma borellii
Apistogramma borellii, common names umbrella cichlid, umbrella apisto and yellow dwarf cichlid, is a species of fish in the genus Apistogramma.
It is a South American dwarf cichlid, found in the Paraguay River and Paraná River. They are found further south than most other members of the genus and can thus tolerate cooler temperatures. The umbrella cichlid eats insects and crustaceans. The specific name honours the zoologist Alfredo Borelli (1858–1943), who collected the type.
