Cryptoheros Panamensis is an interesting and nice looking cichlid. My 'issue' with it is that it's in cryptoheros...
A lot of the cryptoheros species were recently reclassified into amatitlania, and I'm not sure if panamensis was too, but either way I think it doesn't belong.
It's a smaller cichlid, and would be a tiny vieja, but I think it looks more like a vieja than a convict.
It sure as hell isn't up to me to reclassify any species anywhere, I'm just going by what I think. I'm also just going by appearance, I'm not sure if there's any genetic relation of panamensis to any convicts.
look, here's c. panamensis:
here's a convict:
and here's a vieja (hartwegi)
you tell me if panamensis looks like a vieja or not... I think it looks like it could be one.
