Cryptoheros sp. 'Honduran red point'

The archocentrus sp. "Honduran Red Point" was first introduced in 2002 by cichlid collector and friend Rusty Wessell after a trip to Honduras. Collected at Rio Danli near the capital of Honduras Tegucigalpa, this fish is a beautiful species. It is not or even similar to the common convict (Archocentrus nigrofasciatus) as some believe. Both males and females sport similar coloration a pattern of vertical bars/blotches with metallic green-blue coloration along the face and bottom of the fish. Depending on the mood of the fish, the coloration extends into the fins.
