Andinoacara
Andinoacara is a genus of fish in the family Cichlidae. The genus was described in 2009.[1] Before this the members of Andinoacara were placed in the "catch-all" genus Aequidens although they are not closely related to the other members of this genus.[1] The genus Andinoacara is restricted to freshwater habitats in northwestern South America (Trinidad and the Orinoco Basin west to the Pacific coast of South America as far south as Peru) and southern Central America (Costa Rica and Panama). There are no members of the genus in the Amazon Basin.[2]

gollark: This sounds like you can just abuse binomial distributions.
gollark: And please escape your `*`s.
gollark: - does not actually contain any `=` so not an equation- contains two unknowns while there's just one not-actually-equation- that's all really
gollark: I'm pretty sure that's impossible for SEVERAL reasons.
gollark: ↑ interesting exploration of a deceptively simple equation
