Hello

I'm trying to make an poster with cichlid for a friend, and i'll probably put it on monsterfish keepers, i put here a law quality image to show us the beta. It's the first part, i 'll make 2 poster of cichlid

I want to add Pike Cichlid, but maybe some of you could suggest me some cichlids to add. I need help ^^

I only saw Dovii, Motaguense, and Managuense. So you could add Friedrichsthalii and Loisellei. Also you listed the Managuense subfamily, whereas for the Dovii and Mota you listed the Genus.

With so many cichlids, it's gonna be really difficult to make posters of all the cichlids. I would suggest maybe making posters of each Genus. This would make the posters much more manageable and less cluttered. Also by doing this you could just add links to each Genus so people could search their fish faster.

Hello, thanks for all your comments. Managuense, thanks for your help, i have a good pic of Loisellei, i have to find a good one of Friedristhalii, i will add this 2 nice fish. I know that i can't put all the cichlid in one poster, my first goal it's to make a poster with the more appreciate and nice cichlid.
But you are thrue, it 's an good idea to make posters of each genus, but i will need help to know wich genus be in great demand , and all the right english name of fishes in this genus.
I'm ok to do this kind of poster, after i finish this one

Nice looking poster. I noticed that quite a few of the scientific names are out of date. Here's what I saw on first glance:

1) Cichlasoma synspilum has changed, but there is a lot of uncertainty about its accepted scientific identity. Some list it as Paratheraps synspilum, but more recently it has been suggested that all Vieja/Paratheraps should fall within Paraneetroplus. Also, some research indicates that synspilum is a junior equivalent to melanurus, so the fish should be listed as Paraneetroplus melanurus. I don't know the final word on this one though.

2) Cichlasoma argentea should either be Vieja argentea or the newer Paraneetroplus argentea. Again, the Paraneetroplus designation has not been widely used among fishkeepers.

3) Cichlasoma maculicauda should either be Vieja maculicauda or the newer Paraneetroplus maculicauda

4) Cichlasoma cyanoguttatum should be Herichthys cyanoguttatum

5) Cichlasoma meeki should be Thorichthys meeki

6) Cichlasoma facetum should be Australoheros facetum

7) Aequidens rivulatus should be Andinoacara rivulatus (in fact, Andinoacara aequinoctialis may be the accepted name for the 'gold saum' Green Terror)

8) Geophagus jurupari is now Satanoperca jurupari

9) Geophagus hondae is now Geophagus steindachneri

10) Cichlasoma nicaraguense is now Hypsophrys nicaraguensis

There may be more, but this is what I noticed. Hope it helps. Also, make sure the species name (after the genus) is not capitalized. Only the genus is capitalized.
