The ones in my pics are Geophagus iporuguensus, a more southern variant from the braziliensus complex.
I had the normal G braziliensus,(like RD) before I had digital cameras.
Always like this pic of the pair defending territory against the much larger Madagascan Paratilapia.
other southern South Americans that don't require large tanks are Gymnogeophagus, Australoheros and even some pike cichlids

I kept a single male iporuguensis several yrs ago, even as a lone male he was a bit too rowdy for the comm tank he was in at my place (125 gallon). He later went into a friends 550 gallon comm, where he continued to be a pita, with much larger fish. lol
This little guy / gal is the same way growing out with a trimac and wont back down acutally starts the problems.
