Habitat
Spotted mangrove cichlids are native to Africa from the Côte d'Ivoire to Ghana, and Benin to Cameroon. They have also established large feral populations outside of their native ranges, such as in Florida and Australia. Spotted mangrove cichlids live in a variety of habitats. They have been found in both still and flowing waters, in shallow and deep water, in places where there is both little or no coverage and in rocky and debris-strewn areas. Spotted mangrove cichlids are quite common and are found in rivers near the coasts of Africa, near the Côte d'Ivoire.
