Convict Cichlid (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum)- 40 naye paise

The convict cichlid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) is a fish species from the family Cichlidae, native to Central America,, also known as the zebra cichlid.Convict cichlids are popular aquarium fish and have also been the subject of numerous studies on fish behaviour.Albert Günther originally described the species in 1867 after Frederick DuCane Godman and Osbert Salvin collected specimens in Central America. In 2007, the species was moved from the genus Archocentrus to a new genus, Amatitlania, based on Juan Schmitter-Soto's study of Archocentus species. However, a 2008 study led by Oldřich Říčan proposed moving the species in Cryptoheros and Amatitlania, including Amatitlania nigrofasciata into the genus Hypsophrys.
