About the parachromis dovii
Parachromis dovii, the wolf cichlid, rainbow bass, or guapote, is a species of cichlid native to Central America, where it occurs in lakes, rivers and streams in Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. It is one of the largest cichlids, reaching up to 14 kg (31 lb) in weight and 80 cm (2.6 ft) long. A highly predatory species, it mostly feeds on other fish. P. dovii is important to local commercial fisheries, is sought after as a gamefish, and is sometimes kept in aquariums.
