1)What is this fish?

2)I'm looking for a group of 6 geos for a 75...I like color and was thinking geo red head tapajos but they're pretty hard to find and I heard they grow real slow, so any suggestions?

Winemilleri. They are imo one of the best looking geophagus. I just wish I could find some.

is the one in your avatar also winemilleri?

^ No, it's an Altifrons. They get to about 12".

im guessing too big for a 75? :O
how long do you think a group of 6 at 2-3" will get to in a year?

Some geos look very similar. It usually takes an expert (not me) to determine different species.

I'm going with Nemesis on this one.

Jeff Rapps had some in stock a while back.

i was hoping they would turn out to be abalios, they're going on aquabid $8 ea for juvies

You could try a group of Pindare.

Sure look like G. winemilleri. Mine grew from 3" to 5" in three months....about normal per Geo standard.

75 is probably not big enough for 6 adults. A 125 maybe?

Look under the mouth where the soft part of the gills are under the gill plate. If its black then they are Geo Brachybanchus aka Black Chin Geos, very nice!
