It is a rarely found as an aquarium fish. AppearanceThe three spot cichlid is a large heavy bodied cichlid. It has a green or yellow hue base with the distinct spots on its sides. The male is much larger than the female growing up to 15" he has longer more pointed fins and a large red spot behind his gills. The female is smaller growing up to 9-10" and a less dominant red spot.{{citation needed|date=November 2014}} The male may also grow a nuchal hump when mature.[2] Distribution and habitatThe threespot cichlid is found in slow flowing stretches in the lower river valleys of the rivers of the Pacific Slope of Central America from Mexico to Panama,where there is a muddy or sandy substrate. Here it is found among the roots and weeds.[3] It has been found as an introduced species in Florida and Nevada but these populations were extirpated,[3] and in Singapore.[4] BiologyThe Three spot cichlid feeds mainly on small fishes and invertebrates, including both aquatic and terrestrial insects.
