Looks like their right, but that is a guess cause the pics are a little blurred. Try some better pics or netting them and getting closeups.

Personally I can't tell from the photos, but what I can tell you is that juvie Brasi's don't look like the big boys

Yeah that's right, they're Brasiliensis.

Brasiliensis, Pearl Cichlid, develop into a beauty when mature. They can get abit more aggro than regular Geos though. So keep an eye on them if they are housed with other species of Geos.

They are with angels, juripari, and red humps...I also want to add 2 or 3 gold sevrums...thanks for the help!

Shadows right, and the others you want to add won't make it in the end. The Brasi's will demolish the others eventually.

Really thats too bad I am going to have to take them out...I was told that they were easy going like the rest of the geo family...oh well see what happens when you don't research for yourself and leave it up to certain employees at the lfs, and I must say thats not all employees some are great but other well they just do not know...
