workin on a profile and a bit confused to the scientific name of this fish

the quetzal cichlid or redhead cichlid is the common name

but "thePack" asked about, 3)Cichlasoma synspilum, and fise base gives me Vieja synspila, i have also found it both ways on a few

other sites, has it been reclassified and some sites just not updated or something, i will probably go with

the fish base name if anything

There's a more official way to look it up, but I forgot (I'll check on it). From what I know, Vieja is the way to go. Cichlasoma only exists for a couple of South American species now.
