Apistogramma hoignei is a dwarf cichlid from the Río Orinoco basin in Venezuela, including the Apure, Arauca and Caura drainages. It is also known from much of the lower Orinoco mainstream. Coded A116 under the DATZ system, it has similar-looking, possibly conspecific populations referred to as A117 or A118, and inhabits slower-moving tributaries, backwaters and creeks where leaf litter collects.
