Cichlids of South and Central America

     Description: These are neotropical freshwater fish of the Class Teleostomi (bony fishes), the Order Perciformes (perch-like fish) and Family Cichlidae. It is believed that many of these species evolved from marine ancestors and are related to marine species such as damselfishes, wrasses and viviparous surfperches.
