Abstract
The convict cichlid, Amatitlania nigrofasciata (Günther, 1867) is
recorded for the first time from Soleymaniyeh spring, Namak Lake basin in central Iran, the second record of this species from the country. Amatitlania nigrofasciata
has been probably released into the spring, as an aquarium fish by local people, but
has been now possibly established in this water body. The monitoring of this exotic
fish is highly recommended.
