Pelvicachromis is a genus of small (5.5–12.5 cm or 2.2–4.9 in), brightly coloured cichlids from tropical West Africa and Central Africa. They typically inhabit soft, acidic water (pH 5.6 – 6.9).
All species form monogamous pairs and use caves as spawning sites. Most are easily spawned in captivity with adequate water quality.
