- The Convict is a popular cichlid, and has been swimming around in many of our aquariums. This temperamental cichlid was known to us as Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus.
In 2007, Schmitter-Soto revised this species into three different species and even classified it into a new genus.
This has caused quite a bit of confusion among many aquarists. I have tried in this video to make it a little clearer, but above all to show you these beautiful fish in their natural habitat. Enjoy.

Thank you!
This is fantastic and so enjoyable to watch. One thing would've been useful, which is the water parameters in each location, TDS, temperature and pH. I'm not complaining though because this video was so good.
Thanks Matt, I am happy you enjoyed the video.
Thank you! 😍
It was a great video! Good editing and interesting biotopes for filming Neotropical cichlids.
Thanks Denis.👍
Great work. Thanks
You do for this world really a lot! Thank you.
Yes AZ there is a lot of work in a video like this, but feels good with all this nice comments. And I hope people will find inspiration for setting up their aquarium. Thank you aswell.
Brilliant footage and information. Thank you!
Thanks Fishtory for your compliment, and good to hear you enjoyed the video.👍
I don't even really care about cichlids but the way you present them and their environment is somehow fascinating. Just the right amount of geographical info and local quadcopter establishing shots to really make the detailed underwater stuff feel like part of a unique place. And that's not even mentioning the beautiful underwater video.
Wow nice comment, thanks allot. Feels good after 3 months of work.
Great info and video, which i will watch completely soon.
Thanks Erik. I hope you will enjoy it.
Hi Hans! You did a wonderful report on the species of the Amatitlania genus! Of course, wild specimens are spectacular in their native habitats. Happy Sunday
Thanks allot Marco. I am happy you enjoyed the video.😊
What a great piece of work. Just amazing - and I’m only 15 minutes into this video. 😃👌
Thanks Kasper, hopefully you enjoyed the full video.
@@cichlidsinthewild I most certainly did, and took the liberty to share it on a national aquarium page on Facebook. I will be looking into more of your videos here on TH-cam.
Thanks there is a lot of inspiration to find for aquarist’s to mimic a beautiful habitat. And that’s my intention with this channel.
What a terrific summary of a fascinating species, the one that introduced me to cichlid breeding. Are the color morphs that were seen in the hobby years ago such as Kongo, calico and Honduran red point seen anywhere in habitat?
I have a 15-year-old video of my Honduran red points on my channel.
Congratulations on getting to explore Costa rica, the fish and the plants and with excellent narration and the music at 36 minutes was punctuation.
The former two to my knowledge have not been found in the wild. The "honduran red point" variant was collected in 1989. In my own personal research and experimentation I have found that the gene that makes them blue is a polygenic (for the most part recessive) mutation, similar to that found in the electric blue acaras. I believe they happened to find a small population of these recessive blue individuals, not as extreme as they are now, but enough to stand out and be collected, and later be bred into what they are today. This "true" honduran red point was originally collected from the Rio los almendros, which is a tributary of the Rio patuca that runs through the town of Danli (hence where you will see "rio danli" thrown around).
Wonderful video! Enjoyed it from beginning to end!
Have you ever encountered any wild specimens of Cribroheros Rythisma in Costa Rica?
Thank you, I only have seen one in the Rio Cocotis typelocatie of C. Rythisma, but I have seen many in Panama.
you are an invaluable resource Hans
Thanks Twas, I hope with this video that the aquarists will find inspiration to mimic a beautiful habitat for their beloved cichlids.
Amazing as usual. I think I spot parachromis dovii in the first half of the video
Thanks AMX yes you did indeed spot P. dovi.
@@cichlidsinthewild do you have videos documented on p.dovii
amazing footage. 👏👌👌
Thanks, 🙏
Awesome footage! What is that invasive submerged plant (14:25)? Thank you! Subscribed.
Thanks for your comment, that aquatic invasive plant is Hydrilla verticillata. I found them in several rivers in CR.
@@cichlidsinthewild Thank you very much. I keep biotope aquariums and have a set up based on the San Carlos River basin in CR.
Beautiful and very insightful video! Thank you 🙏 Is there a name of the small tributary where you find the breeding pair if of A. Myrnae? At 38:10
Thank you for your nice comment. That location is stil in the Rio Cocotis, just a site pool. This location is the type locality of A. myrnae but more of this species in an other video.
@@cichlidsinthewildThat's very interesting! I'm very interested in that video, since I'm building a biotope around the A. Myrnae. Is that video in making, and not released, or somewhere else on the web I haven't found?
@@dnbiotopesto edit a video of A. Myrnae is on my list. But the habitat of A.myrnae is the same as the habitat of the convict out of the Rio Cocotis. But in the near future I will make a video of A.myrnae
Do you have any data on the Rio Cocotis, by the way?
If you mean waterparameters, no I don’t.
Gonatodes albogularis
