Heros efasciatus is a species of tropical freshwater cichlid native to the Amazon basin in South America.[1] It is commonly found in the aquarium trade, often in its gold colored variation rather than the wild-type olive green one.[2]
Heros efasciatus is one of the few cichlid species that act a regular frugivore, quite notably during the wet season when riparian zones become inundated with water.[3]

Over the past few years, the popularity of Heros efasciatus within the aquarium trade has increased. Consequently, this species could be susceptible to over-exploitation, primarily because of their natural low densities and low fecundity.[3]
