Etymology: Wajpamheros: Named for the Maya Chol dialect word wajpam which means ‘to have mud on one’s face’, in combination with the old cichlid genus name Heros (meaning hero), referring to the substratum sifting feeding strategy during which mouth and lips are inserted into soft substrates (hence mud on the face).
Eponymy: Jean Claude Nourissat (1942–2003) was a French cichlid aquarist and collector who risked his life looking for new species in Madagascar, including the Paretroplus (he died from malaria three days after returning from his last trip there). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
