Tomocichla
Tomocichla is a genus of cichlid fish native to the fast-flowing rivers along the Atlantic slope of Central America, ranging from the Escondido drainage in Nicaragua to Bocas del Toro in Panama. Tomocichla was formerly included in Theraps (and even earlier in Cichlasoma) and until 2015 Talamancaheros sieboldii was commonly included in Tomocichla.[1] They are fairly large cichlids, up to 25–30 cm (10–12 in) in length.[2]
