Geophagus Steindacheri..I had a big male and three females. The Male only gets about 5" and the females stay around 3-4". The male is awesome, colors, character. Females kind of "drab".

I'd worry about aggression with steineys if mixed with things like angels or satanoperca...the 2 males I've had in display tanks were always pretty quarrelsome

Yeah they do get pretty feisty...if you keep just one male and three or four females he will leave all the other fish alone and concentrate just on his females...at least in my experience...

I stand corrected then, I only kept mine in a display tank with single specimens of other species, so with females around I imagine they wouldn't bother other species (even other geos?)
