Diet
Heros efasciatus is one of the few cichlid species that act a regular frugivore, quite notably during the wet season when riparian zones become inundated with water.[3]
Concerns
Over the past few years, popularity of Heros efasciatus within the aquarium trade has increased. Consequently, this species could be susceptible to over-exploitation, primarily because of their natural low densities and low fecundity. [3]
gollark: We shall have to see how it runs in actual performance tests.
gollark: I'm sure the performance will be great and you definitely won't have vast reams of code spawning processes all over the place.
gollark: `termion` for Rust has support for it, I think, but you're using only lua.
gollark: Well, there's probably a lua library for it.
gollark: In any case, it doesn't actually matter outside of "I need to write hello world in blue 500 times in a millisecond" scenarios.
