You can now add the Freshwater Fishes of Mexico as an app-like application to your iOS (iPhone, iPad) or Android device. On an Apple device, visit the homepage using Safari, tap the Share button, and select "Add to Home Screen." An icon that functions like an app will appear on your device. For Android devices, open the site in Chrome and use the Install option to achieve the same result. If you have previously added the site, you must first delete the old link before creating a new one.

Localities assigned (and mapped) to species in their profiles now show the reference that we use for the assignment, be a picture at the locality, a video, a reference, or a museum collection record. In this way, we can improve the soundness of the data. In a similar way, the localities profiles show an option to list the species by reference, which in the same manner shows the references for the assignment of a species to the given locality.

On July 1, 2023, our annual subscriptions will increase from 20 to 25 USD to cover generally increasing prices for keeping the site running. Those active PayPal renewal services for 20 USD will be respected as long as they are kept active.

We updated some parts of our system to comply with PHP 8.1 and current standards, if you are experiencing problems with your session when login into the site please delete the cookies of the site in your browser and log in again.

Following Artigas Azas (2020:10) we now list Kinichthys as a junior synonym of Cincelichthys.

You can now activate your public profile page with your favorite species and social media information by checking 'Activate public profile' in your user editing form. The URL for your public profile will be then given in your user information for you to share.

A table with the number of species in the cichlids catalog, tabulated by family, geographic area and taxonomic status is now available.

For our mobile users now we have Quick Response Code images at the bottom of each site document, this way you can easily scan it from a screen and open the document in your mobile devices.

Given the increasing number of people accessing the site from mobile devices, we have worked during the past couple of weeks to make it 100% mobile friendly, something we have achieved today. Enjoy!.

We adopt in the cichlid catalog most of the general proposed by McMahan et all in 2015: Chiapaheros, Cincelichthys, Kihnichthys, Maskaheros, Mesoheros, Rheoheros and Trichromis for Central American cichlids (or from Central American origin in the case of Mesoheros). For the time being we reserve the use of Oscura until more support for it is available. We also synonymize Nosferatu with Herichthys following Mejia (2015). At this point with the available support (e.g. McMahan et all, 2005) we adopt the synonymy of Paratheraps with Vieja proposed by Allgayer (1991) because we believe a good degree of support and nomenclature stability has been achieved.
