Cricamola

The redspot cichlid, Darienheros calobrensis, is a large cichlid native to coastal rivers draining Panama's Pacific slope. It lives mostly in lakes, ponds and slow parts of rivers, swimming among the crevices of submerged rocky walls and banks. It has been placed in Cichlasoma and Amphilophus, and is occasionally listed under Astatheros. A belligerent, territorial species, it can share a tank with other large cichlids only in a very large aquarium.

The convict cichlid, Amatitlania nigrofasciata, is a Central American cichlid native from Guatemala to Panama. One of the most ubiquitous fish in the hobby, it is hardy and very easily bred, but aggressive and territorial, becomes violent when breeding and is best kept in a species tank. Pink, long-finned and marbled forms exist, and it has been introduced to several countries including the USA and Australia.
