Description
The mayan cichlid (Mayaheros urophthalmus) lives in tropical marshes, rivers, and lagoons, and is adapted to both salt and fresh water. Newly hatched mayan cichlids attach themselves to the bottom of their home turf to keep from being swept away in fast-moving currents. Some anglers appreciate the fight these fish will give them on the hook, while others consider them pests, even though their flesh is tasty.
