Australoheros

Genus of fishes

Australoheros

Genus of fishes

Australoheros is a fish genus in the cichlid family. Most are restricted to rivers and streams in southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and northeastern Argentina, but at least one species is also found in lakes and swamps. This genus was erected after a taxonomic revision in 2006. These are relatively small cichlids that typically do not surpass 10 - in length, although A. facetus reaches about 20 cm.

Species

Four of these species were formerly included in Cichlasoma, but the rest were all described in 2006 (when the genus Australoheros was coined) or later, and placed in the correct genus from the beginning. There are currently 29 recognized species in this genus:
