Geo ID please

I just picked up 4 of these. Only intended to get 2, but they were in a tiny tank and the package deal was just too good to pass up. I'm still fairly green at ID'ing these so any suggestions on what they really are would be appreciated. They were sold as Geophagus Altifrons.

Yeah, they look like Altifrons to me.

agree

Awesome. I can't wait to see how they all will look in a couple of weeks now when all of their fins heal up; the largest is close to 7 inches but they were in a 37 gal tank with 5 silver dollars that kept nipping their fins.

very nice altifrons

Thanks. They are a lot bigger than I expected them to be since the guy said they were 4-5 inches, I measured the largest one at about 7 in. but $35 for all 4 was just way too good of a deal to pass up.
