Picked up two of these little dudes today. Marked as Jurapari. I am thinking they are either dicrozoster or Winemilleri? Any other guesses?

Maybe Geo Surinamensis

That looks like a possibility as well.

They are not winemilleri or dicrozoster because they lack facial markings, and winemilleri only have four bars. IMO they are still too small. It'll be easier to ID them when their color comes in and they are showing their markings better.

If they continue to show no (or a very small) midlateral spot then they are probably G. altifrons.

I guess suranamensis

Correct. Here's a pic of a Jupari. You can tell the difference between the two.

The 4th and 5th bar meeting in a Y suggest Dicrozoster.

I did find this pic on Seriously Fish of a Dicrozoster. I kind of hope that they are Altifrons now though.

Hi all, Ive had a Jurupari for about a month. About a week or so ago, it showed signs of ick, but seemed to have gotten over it. The fish is on the skinny side, and really hasn't been much of a voracious eater. Today he spent the entire day on the bottom of the tank. I also read the profile on Juruparis and it mentioned the substrate in the tank must be fine gravel or sand. I have course gravel, am I starving this guy out? Has anyone kept one on course gravel? I didn't want to start a new thread, hope its cool I ask here
