Cichlasoma
''Cichlasoma'' is a genus of freshwater fish in the cichlid family. The genus was previously very large (a wastebasket taxon), including cichlids from North America, including Central America, and South America. Reclassification and subsequent splitting of the genus by Sven O. Kullander and other ichthyologists has resulted in removing many of the former species from ''Cichlasoma'' to genera such as ''Amphilophus'', '' Archocentrus'', ''Herichthys'', '' Heros'', '' Nandopsis'', ''Parachromis'', '' Thorichthys'', '' Vieja'' and others in the tribe Heroini. Species According to FishBase, there are currently sixteen recognized species in this genus, but three very different Middle American taxa ("''C.''"'' geddesi'' a synonym of ''Herichthys deppii'', and "''C.''"'' istlanum'' and "''C.''"'' trimaculatum'' placed in ''Amphilophus'') are not included by Catalog of Fishes, effectively limiting ''Cichlasoma'' to a group of rather similar, medium-small cichlids of South America. * ...

Cichlid
Cichlids are fish from the family Cichlidae in the order Cichliformes. Cichlids were traditionally classed in a suborder, the Labroidei, along with the wrasses ( Labridae), in the order Perciformes, but molecular studies have contradicted this grouping. The closest living relative of cichlids is probably the convict blenny, and both families are classified in the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' as the two families in the Cichliformes, part of the subseries Ovalentaria. This family is both large and diverse. At least 1,650 species have been scientifically described, making it one of the largest vertebrate families. New species are discovered annually, and many species remain undescribed. The actual number of species is therefore unknown, with estimates varying between 2,000 and 3,000. Many cichlids, particularly tilapia, are important food fishes, while others, such as the ''Cichla'' species, are valued game fish. The family also includes many popular freshwater ...

Cichlasoma Bimaculatum
''Cichlasoma bimaculatum'' is an omnivorous, freshwater, tropical fish commonly referred to as the black acara or two-spot cichlid. It is most frequently classified in the Cichlidae ( Cichlid) family and subfamily of Cichlasomatinae. It is found in freshwater canals and swamps, with a natural region spanning from the Amazon River to northeastern and northern South America. Since the 1960s it has been identified in the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem in several counties of Florida Florida is a state located in the Southeastern region of the United States. Florida is bordered to the west by the Gulf of Mexico, to the northwest by Alabama, to the north by Georgia, to the east by the Bahamas and Atlantic Ocean, and to ... as far north as Jacksonville.

Heroini
Heroini is a fish tribe from the Cichlasomatinae subfamily in the cichlid family. All cichlids native to the Greater Antilles, United States (southern Texas), Mexico and northern Central America are members of this tribe. It also includes most cichlid species in southern Central America (where only non-Heroini cichlids are ''Andinoacara'' and ''Geophagus'') and several species from South America (where several other tribes exist). A large percentage of its species were formerly placed in the genus ''Cichlasoma'' (itself now placed in the tribe Cichlasomatini), but have since been moved to other genera. In other classifications the tribe Heroini is placed in the subfamily Cichlinae. Abstract Genera This tribe include about 35 genus and 160 species: * '' Amatitlania'' Schmitter-Soto, 2007 * ''Amphilophus'' Agassiz, 1859 * '' Archocentrus'' Gill, 1877 * ''Astatheros'' Pellegrin, 1904 * ''Australoheros'' Říčan & Kullander, 2006 * ''Caquetaia'' Fowler, 1945 * ''Chiapaheros'' M ...

Amphilophus
''Amphilophus'' is a genus of cichlid fishes from Central America, ranging from southern Mexico to Panama. The genus currently contains 23 species, including several that are well-known from the aquarium trade. However, studies led by Oldřich Říčan in 2008 and 2016 suggested that several species within ''Amphilophus'' should be moved to the genus '' Astatheros''. Species proposed to be moved to ''Astatheros'' in 2008 were ''A. alfari'', ''A. altifrons'', ''A. bussingi'', ''A. diquis'', ''A. longimanus'', ''A. macracanthus'' (which would be the type species for ''Astatheros''), ''A. margaritifer'', ''A. rhytisma'', ''A. robertsoni'' and ''A. rostratus''. Further genetic studies led Říčan to put ''A. macracanthus'' in ''Astatheros'', but to put ''A. alfari'', ''A. altifrons'', ''A. bussingi'', ''A. diquis'', ''A. longimanus'', ''A. rhytisma'', ''A. robertsoni'' and ''A. rostratus'' within the genus '' Cribroheros''.

Sven Oscar Kullander
Sven Oscar Kullander (born 30 November 1952 in Sollefteå) is a Swedish biologist specialised in ichthyology. He primarily researches cichlids – notably the genus '' Apistogramma'' and the '' Cichlasoma''-complex – and other tropical fresh water fishes. He also has been working with endangered fish species in Sweden. He studied at the universities of Umeå and Stockholm, and took his Ph.D. in Stockholm in 1984. He is currently senior curator at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm, with the responsibility for the ichthyologic and herpetologic collections. Kullander also coordinates the museum's contributions to FishBase. Kullander has produced more than 100 scientific and popular publications on fishes, and described many groups and new species of cichlids. The Swedish aquarists' magazine ''Tidskriften Akvariet'' gave him "Akvariets Oscar" ("the Aquarium Academy Award") in 1996, for his great contribution to the aquarium hobby.

Heros (fish)
''Heros'' is a genus of cichlids native to the Amazon, Orinoco and Essequibo River basins in South America.Staeck, W. & Schindler, I. (2015): Description of a new ''Heros'' species (Teleostei, Cichlidae) from the Rio Orinoco drainage and notes on ''Heros severus'' Heckel, 1840. ''Bulletin of Fish Biology, 15 (1/2): 121-136.'' They were previously included in the genus ''Cichlasoma'' before its restriction to the distinct group of "Port Cichlids." The ''Heros'' species most commonly encountered in the aquarium trade are fish referable to the species '' Heros efasciatus''. However, the trade name generally used is "Severum Cichlids." Trade fish are very often line bred specimens of color sports such as "Super Red Severums" or "Gold Severums." The provenance of these is not clear, but they seem to have been derived from the base "Green Severum" form that is most closely identified with ''H. efasciatus.'' Species There are currently five recognized species in this genus: * '' Heros ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Herichthys Deppii
''Herichthys deppii'', also known as the Nautla cichlid, is a species of cichlid native to the Nautla and Misantla rivers of Mexico. It reaches a maximum size of TL. The specific name honours the German naturalist, explorer and painter Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and ..., Ferdinand Deppe, (1794-1861) who collected the type specimen.

Vieja
''Vieja'' is a genus of cichlid fish from Central America and Mexico. The majority of the species are freshwater fish found in stagnant or slow-moving waters of southern Mexico to El Salvador, but ''V. maculicauda'', which also occurs in brackish waters, ranges south to Panama. They are high-bodied cichlids that reach lengths of up to depending on the exact species. ''Vieja'' feed mostly on vegetable matter, but may also take small invertebrates. Taxonomy and species Historically, ''Vieja'' was included in ''Cichlasoma''. Once recognized as its own genus, it sometimes included most of the superficially similar, relatively large and high-bodied cichlids of Central America and southern Mexico, but several of these are now considered to belong to separate genera: '' Chuco'', ''Cincelichthys'', '' Isthmoheros'', '' Kihnichthys'', ''Maskaheros'' and '' Oscura'' (''Oscuro'' might still be better merged with ''Vieja'', but this remains unconfirmed). Conversely, ''Vieja'' has sometime ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
