Thank you. Yes, they arguably belong to the Reticulata group of pike cichlids. Their swim bladders are non-functional and only allow for short sprints, not sustained swimming. They come from the Rio Tocantins, Brazil in very fast flowing water.


Very true cause I thinks its only three types in that group. Them, Belly crawler's, and what ever this is !

Thanks, CF. There are a few more species in the group, but the three you mentioned are certainly three popular ones! The species you posted in your second post is Crenicichla semifasciata.
