The Chocolate Cichlid is also called the Emerald Cichlid (sometimes has a greenish tinge) although neither name seems particularly appropriate. It is native to slow moving waters of Amazon Peru, Amazon Colombia and western Brazil. It has a bright red eye-ring to be seen in murky water. Larger males grow to some 30cm (12 inches) long.
