Muzzle of a Blackbelt Cichlid - a photo on Flickriver

            The colorful attractive Black Belt Cichlid or Red Black Vieja (Vieja maculicauda, also Theraps or Cichalasoma maculicauda) is a fairly large cichlid. 
They are found in Central America on the Atlantic slope from Southern Mexico and the Usumacinta River drainage in Guatemala to the Chagres River in Panama. Their range is large and encompasses both brackish and marine water.
Size: ♂ 25 - 30 cm, ♀: 20 - 25 cm.

De kleurrijke en attractieve maculicauda of zwartbandcichlide (Vieja maculicauda, ook Theraps of Cichlasoma maculicauda) is een vrij grote cichlide. 
Ze worden aangetroffen in Midden-Amerika in de rivieren en meren aan de Atlantische kust tussen Zuid-Mexico en het stroomgebied van de Usumacinta-rivier in Guatemala tot aan de Chagres in Panama. Het leefgebied van de zwartbandcichlide is groot en omvat vooral zoetwater, maar ook brak- en zeewater. 
Grootte: ♂ tot 30 cm, ♀ tot 25 cm.
Deze foto is thuis gemaakt. Tot 1999 heb ik jaren in een groot 1200 liter aquarium Midden-Amerikaanse cichliden gehouden.
