Heroini is a fish
tribe from the
Cichlasomatinae subfamily in the
cichlid family. All cichlids native to the
Greater Antilles,
United States (southern
Texas),
Mexico and northern
Central America are members of this tribe. It also includes most cichlid species in southern Central America (where only non-Heroini cichlids are Andinoacara and Geophagus) and several species from
South America (where several other tribes exist). A large percentage of its species were formerly placed in the genus Cichlasoma (itself now placed in the tribe
Cichlasomatini) but have since been moved to other genera.
