I been growing out some geos that were labeled surinamensis. Currently about 4.5" I think they are abalios. Can anyone ID them
Geophagus abalios?
- Thread starter ChuckCichlid
- Start date
No cheek stripe, larger (as opposed to tiny or nonexistent) midlateral spot, bifurcated stress bars, and striped tail = G. abalios.
One other indicator of abalios (but not clear in the photo)
The upper lip is generally iridescent blue, and that blue extends beyond the lip, almost to the corner of the preopercle (gill plate)
