In this study, we analyzed the species <i>Andinoacara latifrons</i> using two mitochondrial markers (<i>COI</i>, <i>cytb</i>) and one nuclear marker (<i>RAG1</i>) in a populational level. Sequences were obtained through tissue collection and from the GenBank database. Populational analysis showed significant structuration among populations, also corroborated with population pairwise F _<i>st</i> results.
