Geophagus id-help

[matan27]

hello, they sold me as a tpajos but i think they are not..what is your
opinion?

 

[bbortko]

Definitely not tapajos, but not sure what. Definitely look like they have potential
to be stunners.

 

[darth pike]

Which Tapajos were they sold as? Tapajos 1's or Orangehead Tapajos, Tapajos 2's, or altifrons Tapajos?

 

[peathenster]

One of the four species with preopercular marks. Looks like the tail is going turn stripy, so it's not a G. brachy. It's a bit hard to tell but does it have 4 lateral bars (G. winemilleri) or more than 4?

I was thinking the same, but the lack of a midlateral spot in the pictures makes me think otherwise.

Does the fish ever have the spot? Or is it just missing in the pictures?

Little too young to ID correctly. Let it gain a couple of inches and the ID will be a lot easier
