Sorry for old-IPhone pictures.
Dip-netted this today in Negril, Jamaica, while looking for local subspecies Gambusia, amphipods & little clams.
1cm long or vaguely larger.
Distinct black dot at hard-soft dorsal connection.
Redness at front of eye. Small mouth.
Had darker vertical bands top to bottom when caught and first put into tank. Fades since (as you can see).
A little skinny and fins beaten up: possibly as runt, possibly nipped by overpopulated dry-season local Gambusia.
The Negril Morass should have Oreochromis mossambicus & O. niloticus (Tilapia) introduced in '60s and '80s.
Several drainages around the country have Parachromis managuensis (Jaguar cichlid), though it's not reported here (yet)
Anything else would be... unexpected and a little bit unfortunate.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
