Fenestrata Cichlid "Las Playas" - 3-4" Unsexed. Remarks: The fenestrata cichlid is an uncommon relative of the popular synspilum cichlid with the two looking very similar. Both display similar colors such as a typically pink or red head and a green or blue body. However, what sets a fenestrata cichlid apart from a synspilum are the faint blue and red speckles on the face that are more apparent in juveniles, the black bar on their lateral line being more solid and extending to the pectoral fin rather than just the mid body, and their higher propensity toward having varied colors and patterns among individuals. In the wild, the fenestrata cichlid can only be found in slow-moving rivers and lakes between the Papaloapán and Chachalacas rivers in western Mexico. These areas have sandy or muddy bottoms with large areas lush with aquatic plant. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
