Andinoacara.com is a field guide to the cichlid genus Andinoacara, owned by James Studdart and published by WhiteFish Creative Limited. The collection brings together species profiles, identification guides, aquarium observations and photographs from credited contributors.
Understanding the records
The site distinguishes described species, undescribed locality forms and aquarium hybrids. A locality or trade name alone does not establish a separate species. Where a fish’s identity or origins remain unresolved, that uncertainty matters when reading its profile.
The records vary in detail. Some include aquarium care, photographs and breeding videos; others contain only a photograph and a provisional name. Original records can be incomplete, and older statements may need checking against current scientific literature. The distribution map is an approximate educational overview, not a complete or precise record of every species’ range.
Photographs and credit
Photographs are credited to their contributors. They let readers compare fish, markings and life stages alongside the written records.
If you have photographs to offer, submit them for review. Publication permission and the agreed credit are confirmed before accepted photographs are added to the website. The privacy and contributions notice explains how submissions are handled.
Corrections and observations
If you find a possible misidentification, an outdated name, an incorrect locality or a missing credit, get in touch. Include the page address and any supporting publication, collection record or observation so the issue can be considered in context.
