Veri nice gymnogenys anyway!!...but the common name is "Quilero" and not "Yerbalito"....."Blue Yerbalito" is a G.labiatus from the same area:
Gymnogeophagus labiatus "Blue Yerbalito" and Gymnogeophagus gymnogenys "Quilero"....both from the same Group ("gymnogenys")....and both from the same area; Centurion...names of the streams from Centurion;
Arroyo Ceibalito
Arroyo Yerbalito
Cañada del Vigia
Rio Yaguaron
Thanks. There were two people selling these at the auction last year, and I thought only one had the wrong ID.

Good to see people keeping a Uruguay specific tank with presumably a cooling period during winter. Completely unheated?
The big male is a wimp. He doesn't bother anything. There is some gill flaring between the male quilero and the others (it thinks it's a bad ass). Also a bit of chasing, but that's about it.
