Andinoacara
''Andinoacara'' is a genus of fish in the family Cichlidae. The genus was described in 2009.Musilova, Rican and Novak, 2009''Phylogeny of the Neotropical cichlid fish tribe Cichlasomatini (Teleostei: Cichlidae) based on morphological and molecular data, with the description of a new genus''.Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 47 Issue 3, Pages 209 - 304 (August 2009) Before this the members of ''Andinoacara'' were placed in the "catch-all" genus ''Aequidens'' although they are not closely related to the other members of this genus. The genus ''Andinoacara'' is restricted to freshwater habitats in northwestern South America (Trinidad and the Orinoco Basin west to the Pacific coast of South America as far south as Peru) and southern Central America (Costa Rica and Panama). There are no members of the genus in the Amazon Basin. Species There are currently eight recognized species in this genus:Eschmeyer, W.N., & R. Fricke, eds. (2013). Catalog of Fishe ...

Andinoacara Rivulatus
The green terror (''Andinoacara rivulatus'', syn. ''Aequidens rivulatus'') is a colorful freshwater fish in the cichlid family. The fish originates from the Pacific side of South America from the Tumbes River in Peru to the Esmeraldas River in Ecuador. It is polymorphic and can have white or gold-orange edging to the tail and dorsal fins. It has historically been confused with two other species that always have narrow, clearly defined white edging, the more southerly distributed '' A. stalsbergi'' (often considered the "true" green terror) and the more northerly '' A. blombergi''.Musilova, Rican, and Novak (2009).

Andinoacara Stalsbergi
''Andinoacara stalsbergi'' is a species of South American freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae. It was previously included in '' A. rivulatus'', but was described as a separate species in 2009. 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”. ''A. stalsbergi'' has scales on the body with light centres and dark edges, and narrow clearly defined white edging to the tail and dorsal fins. This separates it from ''A. rivulatus'' where the scale-pattern is reversed, and the fin-edging is gold-orange or less clearly defined white. ''A. stalsbergi'' are found in rivers and other freshwater habitats in western Peru from Piura to Ica, while ''A. rivulatus'' are found in far northwestern Peru ( Tumbes) and western Ecuador. Although the largest officially measured ''A. stalsbergi'' only had a standard length of , it is known to reach a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Andinoacara Latifrons
''Andinoacara latifrons'', the platinum acara, is a species of fish in the family Cichlidae in the order Perciformes, native to the Magdalena, Atrato, Sinú, and San Juan River basins in Colombia. Description Males can reach a length of total in length. It has a stocky body with a bluish-grey colouration. It has lighter speckles across the scales, with relatively long fins. It is similar in appearance to the blue acara. Spawning The platinum acara spawns several times each year. As with most cichlids there are frequent quarrels between partners. The female cleans a stone carefully and lays eggs on it afterward. They are attached to one another, resembling a pearl necklace. As they begin to increase in size the stone is completely covered by them. The female fans them with her body and pectoral fins. Once the fry have emerged and can swim independently they surround their parents in a great shoal. References Bibliography * Arai, R. y H. Kobayasi, 1973. A chromosome s ...

''Aequidens'' is a genus of fish in the family Cichlidae found in South America. Formerly a wastebasket genus, as presently defined ''Aequidens'' is largely restricted to the Amazon Basin, Orinoco Basin and river basins in The Guianas. The only exceptions are ''A. plagiozonatus'' which also occurs in the Paraná Basin, and ''A. tetramerus'' which also occurs in the Parnaíba River. Taxonomy Many species formerly placed in this genus have been reallocated to other genera such as ''Andinoacara'', ''Bujurquina'', '' Cleithracara'', ''Krobia'', ''Laetacara'', '' Rondonacara'' and ''Tahuantinsuyoa''.Ottoni, F.P. & Mattos, J.L.O.

Cichlasomatini
Cichlastomatini is a tribe of cichlids from South America, one of two tribes that make up the subfamily Cichlasomatinae. They were recognised in 1983 as an assemblage by the Swedish ichthyologist Sven O. Kullander by their four rather than five 5 dentary foramina in the lateralis canal system of the head, describing them as closely related to the genus ''Cichlasoma''. Melanie Stiassny suggested that these fishes recognised as a clade by Kullander were divided into two groupings in 1991 which she termed cichlasomines and heroines, Kullander formally raised these to the tribes Cichlasomatini and Heroini of the subfamily Cichlasomatinae in 1999. In other classifications the tribe Cichlasomatini is placed in the subfamily Cichlinae. Abstract Characteristics The members of the Cichlasomatini are characterised most obviously by the possession of relatively large scales, especially shown in the arrangement of the scales in front of the dorsal fin where there are eight scales alon ...
