Cleithracara : ウィキペディア英語版 | Keyhole cichlid
The keyhole cichlid (''Cleithracara maronii'') is a cichlid fish endemic to tropical South America, occurring in the lower Orinoco Basin in Venezuela and river basins in The Guianas. The single species is the only species in the genus ''Cleithracara''.〔Loiselle PV. (1994) The Cichlid Aquarium, Voyageur Press, ISBN 1-56465-146-0〕 The species is popular with fishkeeping hobbyists and is frequently kept in aquariums.〔 ==Appearance== The species is a small tan coloured ovate-bodied fish. It has a black spot on its upper flank which sometimes extends into a short stripe. This gives rise to the common name, keyhole cichlid, from which the genus name ''Cleithracara'' (meaning "lock acara") is derived.〔Kullander SO (2003) (Cleithracara ) (Guide To The South American Cichlidae )〕 When the species is startled or nervous it assumes a blotchy colouration and presses its body against rocks or logs in an attempt to camouflage itself.〔〔 It is generally shy, peaceful and should '' ''not be kept with aggressive species.
