$50 for 5 @ 1"
$100 for 5 @ 2"

They're currently about 3 months old and around 1/2"

I'd like to offload 10 or so within the next couple months and grow out the rest to 2-3"

PM if interested.

To be clear, these are not Redhump eartheater (Geophagus steindachneri). They're geophagus Pellegrini, which are much more rare to find. So, this price is even more of a steal at that price! But I'm only looking to offload 5-10 at that price and I plan to grow the rest out so It'll be easier to prove the species.

Thanks for looking-

Okay, I stand corrected...
According to TFH, there are three geophagus called "Redhumps" (Steindachneri, Crassilabris, and Pellegrini) http://www.tfhmagazine.com/details/articles/a-survey-of-eartheaters-full-article.htm

But, I've seen lots of sites calling them "Yellowhump" and Steindachneri is often mistaken for Pellegrini. I should have just left it as -these are Pellegrini, not Steindachneri- (no markings on caudal fin)

Wish you were closer, live in Ohio want to add pelligrini one day :). By the way love redhead tapajos as well.

Yeah you beat me to it I should've said "red hump complex" I've searched for years for them and found them after 10+, including many online sales that always ended up being steindachneri, I've kept them for 2 generations before trying something new, after keeping all 3 I must say my favorite is still the common red hump, geophagus steindachneri....

wow,...there doesn't seem to be much interest for Geophagus Pellegrini in So Cal.
Guess I'll be looking into shipping to the east coast unless I hear from someone soon:confused:
