Fish biology, ecology, and behavior

Abstract Red devil cichlid Amphylopus labiatus is the most successful invasive species in worldwide including Indonesia. This species is originally to Lake Managua, Nicaragua Central America. In Indonesia, The Red devil cichlid was widely introduced by the ornamental fish trade around 1990. Now, the population of The Red Devil on the mainland has extremely increased, and is known as an Invasive fish. An invasive species literally have a negative impact on aquatic communities disturbing the native and dominating the ecosystem because an invasive species has great adaptability and is able to reproduce quickly to make a giant population in an ecosystem. In this research, we present the range expansion of an invasive Red devil cichlid A. labiatus to Bangka Island, Indonesia. Through this research, we will provide knowledge about the extent of the Red devil cichlid invasion and its impact on local species.
