Machado-Allison, A.; 1971; "Contribución al conocimiento de la taxonomía del género Cichla en Venezuela. Parte I"; Acta Biológica Venezolana; v. 7; pp. 459-497.
Diagnosis: Juveniles with interrupted dark band along middle of side, young and adults uniquely distinguished among species of Cichla by colour pattern with lateral band transformed to row of irregular dark blotches and six or seven narrow dark vertical bars across side below dorsal fin (corresponding in position to bars 1, 1a, 2, 2a, 3, additional bar below end of soft dorsal in base, and occasionally one anteriorly on caudal peduncle). Adults with several small black blotches posterior to orbit and on gill cover. Light spots on side absent at all sizes (vs. present in most other species of Cichla). Lateral line almost always continuous; scales in E1 row 96-108. (Kullander & Ferreira, 2006).
Type locality: Río Casiquiare, Estado Amazonas, Venezuela.
Distribution: Specimens at hand are from the Rio Cinaruco in Apure State, and from the Rio Casiquiare (Rio Cunucuna, Rio Cataniapo), reflecting the fragmented range given in 1971 by Machado-Allison, also including the Rio Siapa drainage. The lower Rio Cauca is also included, but there are at present no records from Colombia, although the species is probably present in that country. (Kullander & Ferreira, 2006).
Inhabiting countries: Venezuela (endemic).
Conservation: Cichla intermedia is (NE) not evaluated by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (2008).

Ahhh... yes, I was very tempted to pick up some Occe's. I love the Guyan boys.
He's got some nice Pbass 4-sale.
