Ptychochromis ernestmagnusi is a species of fish cichlid only known from the Mananara du Nord River in northeastern Madagascar, but it is probably more widespread in that region.[1] If so, it likely occurs in the Mananara-Nord Biosphere Reserve (near the town Mananara Nord), which would give it a level of protection.[1] It can reach 14.7 cm (5.8 in) in standard length.[2]
