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.[1] It is one of the largest cichlids, reaching up to 14 kg (31 lb) in weight and 80 cm (2.6 ft) long.[3] A highly predatory species, it mostly feeds on other fish.[2] P. dovii is important to local commercial fisheries, is sought after as a gamefish,[2] and is sometimes kept in aquariums.[4]
