Just picked up a few Geos.. I just have no idea what kind of geo's they are.
They were sold as Geos
There are 2 different kinds of Geos
Can anybody ID both of em?

geophagus steindachneri
Not quiet sure on the 2nd ones. Surinamenis or altifrons maybee...

left could be geo steindachneri and the right one looks like a tapajos...could def be wrong. Alot of the geos look similar and I am not well versed enough, and then could be some kind of gymnogeo.

First fish is some kind of 'Geophagus' from the crassilabrus complex - most likely 'G'. steindachneri.

Can't give a positive ID on the bottom fish as caudal patterns aren't viewable. Can rule out a lot of species with what can be seen. Do they show a black pre-opercular mark that isn't shown in the photographs (a black mark/line at the rear bottom of the gillplate)? I'm not familiar with the lateral barring.

Heres a couple more pics that might help..

I think you have three species... first pic 'G' steindachneri, second pic, left is G. abalios and right fish is G. dicozoster

In all second series of pictures, the focal fish is G. abalios
