Taeniacara candidi is a species of cichlid fish from the Amazon Basin in South America. This species is considered a dwarf cichlid in which reaches a length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade,[1] but requires very soft, acidic water and is known for being unexpectedly aggressive for a fish its size; a male will usually kill any other males in a tank shorter than 4 feet in length.
