bottomdweller_fan Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) I have inherited these lovely fish but do not know which genus and species they are (I think they are Geophagus). Help please. Sorry for the fuzziness, I asked them to stay still but they were more interested in what I was doing. Thanks.

canucklehead Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Kinda fuzzy but I would say Brasiliensis or sp. Bahia red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Where'd you pick them up? They look like Geophagus iporangensis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottomdweller_fan Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Where'd you pick them up? They look like Geophagus iporangensis. They were part of an aquarium deal I got from Dalray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Where'd you pick them up? They look like Geophagus iporangensis. I don't think they are, they do not have the verticle stripe going through the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Chicklets Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Maybe I will get in to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomdweller_fan Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thank you everyone for your kind help. I have never had cichlids before and these ones are certainly characters. It was difficult to photograph them because they keep wanting to see what I am doing.
