Tristramella simonis is a species of cichlid fish. It is common in the Sea of Galilee in Israel, and may also occur in a tributary of the Jordan River in Syria.[1] It is the only member of the genus Tristramella that certainly remains extant. Of the other three taxa, two are certainly extinct and a third is possibly extinct. This species can reach a length of 25 centimetres (9.8 in) TL.
Note that T. intermidia and T. magdelainea are treated as subspecies of T. simonis by FishBase. The IUCN treats them as full species while the Catalog of Fishes treats them as junior synonyms of T. simonis.[2][3]
