The Redhead cichlid (Vieja synspila) is an important aquarium fish and a useful phylogenetic organism of the Cichlidae family. In this study, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of the Redhead cichlid for the first time. The mitogenome (16,543 bp) had the typical mitochondrial characteristics of other cichlid fish, including 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, two rRNA genes and one putative control region. This sequence will be helpful in studying the phylogenetic relationships between cichlid fish.
红头丽鱼（Vieja synspila）是一种重要的观赏鱼，也是丽鱼科中一种有用的系统发育生物。在本研究中，我们首次对红头丽鱼的线粒体基因组进行了测序。该线粒体基因组（16,543 bp）具有其他丽鱼科鱼类典型的线粒体特征，包括13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、两个rRNA基因和一个假定的控制区。该序列将有助于研究丽鱼科鱼类之间的系统发育关系。
