Mmm, that tocatins looks like he's in too cool of water from the pits in his forehead.
Problem with IDing geophagus is almost all of them look exactly the same.

Same fish, your bottom one that you're labelling as a tocantins is just not showing as vibrant colours due to it's condition.
Compare this photo of my altifrons cf. 'Rio Tocantins' with your "areos".
Note the fluorescent operculum markings, the two fluorescent markings under the eyes, and the pelvic and caudal fin markings. Mines a fair bit smaller but you can still see how it's the same fish.

HITH should disappear quickly with raised temperatures, I noticed the same injuries showing up in my orange heads when they were kept in anything under 82 degrees.
How are those guys doing anyway?
Good luck finding these for anything under $13 a peice at 1"...
