Clearly the scientists have got it all wrong - again... Timacs and Tricolor Cichlids are the closest relative's to eachother. At the moment, Trichromis salvini is on its own yet it's clear that the two species in question have been divided by ignorance.
Timacs have been joined up with the Amphilphus group indiscriminately by "SO CALLED" experts much in the same way as they've wrecked the Thorichthys grouping... Little over 5 years ago Amphilophus robertsoni became Cribroheros robertsoni then Astatheros robertsoni... it's common name is the "False Firemouth"... the clue is in the name where it truelly belongs....
So I'm gonna campaign that the Trimac should be paired with the Tricolor Cichlid and be re-named TRICHROMIS TRIMACULATUS....
