Cryptoheros septemfasciatus (sometimes called the Seven-stripe Cichlid or Cutter's Cichlid) is a fish species in the cichlid family. It is found on the Atlantic slope of Costa Rica, between the San Juan River drainage and the Banano River. Several currently recognized cichlid species within the genus Cryptoheros were formerly considered varieties of Cryptoheros septumfasciatus, including Cryptoheros myrnae, the Topaz Cichlid, and Cryptoheros cutteri (which also sometimes uses the common name "Cutter's Cichlid").
