| − | :Central America: Atlantic slope, from southern Mexico to Guatemala and Belize. | + | |sexing=:Males are more colourful, with more contrast between the black and white patches, and have more pointed dorsal and anal fins than females. Females have a patch in the centre of their dorsal fins, and a dark spot at the bottom of their gill plates. |
| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:This is a highly predatory and territorial fish and should therefore only be housed with similar sized or larger robust fish in a large tank. If a fish is small enough to be eaten, it will be. Similar sized Central/South American Cichlids like [[Jack Dempsey]]s may work, as would large [[Pleco]]s, provided the tank was large enough. | |
| − | + | |diet=:A generally unfussy feeder and should readily accept a variety of foods. Should be fed a high quality Cichlid pellet as well as live/frozen foods such as [[bloodworm]]. It should be supplemented with vege foods too. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. | |

Sand substrate is preferred with plenty of caves and hiding places in rocks and [[bogwood]]. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:A territorial, predatory and aggressive Cichlid. | |
| − | + | |identification=:An attractive Cichlid. It is oval in shape, the body is yellow with a dark irregular band down the lateral line and slightly more slender one above, edged with blue iridescent scales. The fins are edged with blue and red, the head predominantly yellow-green and red hues along the belly. When viewed from the front there should be two dark bars between the eyes and a further two above before the dorsal fin. | |
