Species and taxonomy
Before the genus Talamancaheros was recognized, these species had been placed in several other genera, including Cichlasoma, Heros, Theraps, Tomocichla and others, but they are not particularly closely related to any of these. The nearest relative of Talamancaheros is Isthmoheros tuyrensis.[1][3]
There are currently two recognized species in this genus:[2]
- Talamancaheros sieboldii (Kner, 1863) (Siebold's cichlid)
- Talamancaheros underwoodi (Regan, 1906)
Until 2016, T. underwoodi was included as a population of T. sieboldii.[1]
gollark: Do any other dragons have constrained hatch times? Can we test them?
gollark: I have parts of the EATW source from someone, but not much and it's in PHP (*ewww*).
gollark: I had a hatchery (briefly) based on a similar system using some data from it, but TJ09 shut it down.
gollark: ARing is easy enough and works without it being yours, but you need UVs.
gollark: An interesting idea. If you ever do actually want that, tell me and I should be able to do that.
