Have a few steindachneri and brasilensis...but have kept some Satanoperca and Gymnogeos in the past

I'd love to have even a couple on that list. I like the look of the eartheaters. I've kept juriparis, and I think I remember having a brasiliensis once.
I'm attempting to start some surinamensis soon, I hope. Would like to see pics of them, never even heard of some of those.

I know the proper name for a juripari is satanoperca, but juripari is the name I'm used to using for them.

Very nice Fug....I have always found the Geophagus brasiliensis are to rough for my geos and push them all around. What have you seen from yours ?

Just picked up a trio of Geophagus Steindachneri.

They are very interactive and always come to greet me at the glass. Wish I had looked into them sooner.

That's an impressive list... I'll second the request for some pics of the 'rarer' ones.


I'm only keeping Orange Head Tapajos, 7 of them. I may look into some others if any space frees up in my tank.
