Funny how similar they are when young
above a young heckelli, below a young iporanguensis (one of the brasiliensus clade)
but become less so when grow
same heckelli above as in the first shop
same iporaguensus below

It's a brasiliensis. I've had enough that I've grown over the years. There very cool fish but not your typical geo. They can be nasty. Here's my big male I just got rid
Probably G. brasiliensis.
But could be also Geophagus iporangensis. And even mine Gymnogeophagus rhabdostus sometimes look similar:

Great thanks for your opinions guys. Looks like a have a brasiliensis. I was leaning towards thinking it was a male though based on its growth rate and size. I bought it a few months ago at about 2 inches has doubled in size in that time to about 4".
