Those are awesome! Some kind of Tilapia. Where'd you get them? I'd snag a couple too.
 
They are still for sale... 20$ Any further info available..

I have not run into you forever Santoury...how are u


PS: Notice the AT in the pics?
 
Looks a little like a geo. braziliensis, but less colorful? Not sure, but good lookin fish though.
 
It sifts like a geo, but i dont think it is one... Its odd.

Thanks for posting.
 
doubt its a tilapia. the head is not steep enough and the mouth from the side pic isnt right.

Doesn't look like Geophagus brasiliensis to me at all. I don't think it's a geo but I could be wrong as there are plenty other species of geos I've never kept.
 
probably from the geo species or gymnogeophagus looks like it but hard to tell they look young

Theyre about 3.5 inches atleast, maybe 4". I have no idea what they are... they are listed as "Assorted Central Americans".

Any hardcore fish fans think they kno this ID?
