Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Umbrella cichlid (Apistogramma borellii) - Uncertain Risk

Species that are considered uncertain risk need a more in-depth assessment beyond the Risk Summary to better define the species’ risk to U.S. environments.

Apistogramma borellii is a freshwater subtropical fish native to South America. It does not have any known established populations outside of its native range. A. borellii appears to be popular in the aquarium trade, but the extent of its trade in the United States is unknown. The lack of information on its invasiveness and the medium climate match with the contiguous United States makes the risk for this species Uncertain.
