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 species, two are certainly extinct and a third is possibly extinct.
