Andinoacara stalsbergi is a species of South American freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae.

[2] The specific name honours the Norwegian aquarist Alf Stalsberg who collected the type of this species and who has had a "longstanding commitment to increase the knowledge about cichlid fishes".

[2][4] Although the largest officially measured A. stalsbergi only had a standard length of 11.3 cm (4.4 in), it is known to reach a size comparable to A.

Adults continue to guard and care for the larvae, moving the fry into pits in the substrate.

When the fry have reached a length of 2 cm (0.8 in) they typically experience a growth spurt and rapidly grow bigger.
