Nannacara
''Nannacara'' is a genus of small freshwater cichlid fish endemic to South America. The genus is part of the Cichlasomatini tribe of the Cichlasomatinae subfamily. In the aquarium hobby, the fish is considered a dwarf cichlid along with ''Apistogramma'', ''Mikrogeophagus'', and ''Dicrossus'' species. ''Nannacara anomala'' is the most commonly encountered species in the aquarium trade. Species There are currently six recognized species in this genus: * ''Nannacara adoketa'' S. O. Kullander & Preda-Pedreros, 1993 (Zebra acara) * ''Nannacara anomala'' Regan, 1905 (Goldeneye cichlid) * ''Nannacara aureocephalus'' Allgayer, 1983 * ''Nannacara bimaculata'' C. H. Eigenmann, 1912 * '' Nannacara quadrispinae'' Staeck & I. Schindler, 2004 * ''Nannacara taenia'' Regan, 1912 In a book published in 2006, ''Nannacara adoketa'' and ''Nannacara bimaculata'' were reassigned to the new genus ''Ivanacara''.

Nannacara Anomala
The goldeneye cichlid (''Nannacara anomala'') is a species of cichlid found in fresh water from the Aruka River in Guyana, to the Maroni River in Suriname. It is often found on flooded savannas near the coast. The male grows to a length of about while the female is somewhat smaller, and is thus regarded as a dwarf cichlid. The male, under acidic conditions, adopts a greenish tinge along the length of its body, while the female puts on a black coat with a faint line running from her face to the middle of her tail, and in breeding condition, fades into a bright yellow in the stomach. As youngsters, there is hardly any difference as a juvenile male does have the colouration of a female. The only difference would be the presence of an extension at the back of the male's dorsal fin. The goldeneye cichlid lives on a diet of crustaceans, insects, and other small animals.

Nannacara Aureocephalus
''Nannacara aureocephalus'' is a species of cichlid endemism, endemic to French Guiana in South America where it occurs in the Approuague River basin. Its habitat is shallow water near the edges of swamps, and areas of stagnant water in forest creeks. It is considered a dwarf cichlid and can be found in the aquarium trade. The male reaches a length of fish measurement, SL while the females reach a length of fish measurement, TL.

Cichlid
Cichlids are fish from the family Cichlidae in the order Cichliformes. Cichlids were traditionally classed in a suborder, the Labroidei, along with the wrasses ( Labridae), in the order Perciformes, but molecular studies have contradicted this grouping. The closest living relative of cichlids is probably the convict blenny, and both families are classified in the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' as the two families in the Cichliformes, part of the subseries Ovalentaria. This family is both large and diverse. At least 1,650 species have been scientifically described, making it one of the largest vertebrate families. New species are discovered annually, and many species remain undescribed. The actual number of species is therefore unknown, with estimates varying between 2,000 and 3,000. Many cichlids, particularly tilapia, are important food fishes, while others, such as the ''Cichla'' species, are valued game fish. The family also includes many popular freshwater aquariu ...

Cichlasomatini
Cichlastomatini is a tribe of cichlids from South America, one of two tribes that make up the subfamily Cichlasomatinae. They were recognised in 1983 as an assemblage by the Swedish ichthyologist Sven O. Kullander by their four rather than five 5 dentary foramina in the lateralis canal system of the head, describing them as closely related to the genus ''Cichlasoma''. Melanie Stiassny suggested that these fishes recognised as a clade by Kullander were divided into two groupings in 1991 which she termed cichlasomines and heroines, Kullander formally raised these to the tribes Cichlasomatini and Heroini of the subfamily Cichlasomatinae in 1999. In other classifications the tribe Cichlasomatini is placed in the subfamily Cichlinae. Abstract Characteristics The members of the Cichlasomatini are characterised most obviously by the possession of relatively large scales, especially shown in the arrangement of the scales in front of the dorsal fin where there are eight scales alon ...

Dicrossus
