Reclassified again?! Good lord, apparently I need to spend more time on fishbase.
Lol yeah, it was several months ago, but is in fact now a part of archocentrus, although most still refer to it as a herotilapia species. Glad they finally did this as "tilapia" generally refers to African species, so I never understood why a Central American species was in the genus herotilapia lol
Unless a rogue fish, Bolivians tend to be not that aggressive and all the fighting usually looks worse than it is, unless breeding when it can look pretty nasty but have never actually seen damage to either fish - as you go up the scale to larger cichlids it will look even worse even though damage to fish is very little to moderate, like Geo,s. Rainbows can be really nasty when breeding, Blue Acara's are far from peaceful even Keyholes can have there moments, that's just cichlids doing what they do.
I'm sure it'll change again soon enough lol all the cryptoheros, archocentrus, and amatitlania species seem to be turbulent when it comes to naming
