I don't even know if its an African but that was my best guess? Got them off a mate who was moving house 2 around the same size.

Sorry for the crappy photo its still in a bag while i setup an old tank.

Any ideas? Got them off a mate who is moving house, he didn't even know what they were, impulse buy I guess. Sorry for the crappy photo, still bagged up until im done filling an old tank.

Would need to see it in a tank, or at least out of the bag ... but am leaning towards 'Geophagus' brasiliensis.

Yeah, I'm guessing brasiliensis too. Hard to tell though without seeing the face, and the dorsal/pectoral fins.

Are you filling the "old" tank up with cycled water? Did you just do a water change, is that why you said filling up a old tank? Or are you actualy putting the fish into an uncycled tank?

It's a Geophagus Itapicuruensis, a sub-species of the brasiliensis.

They're one of the most aggressive earth eaters I've ever kept, my 8" one even put me Jaguar into place. Good luck.
