So I acquired some cichilds this weekend. They are all in kind of a safe tank because I want to grow them up a little bit before I put them in a bigger tank. The first two pictures is a Geophagus Brasiliensis I'm pretty sure, but I bought "another one" as seen in the lower three pictures and it is supposed to be the same kind, but they don't look exactly alike......is the smaller one younger? Is there some kind of sexual dimorphism. Plus the one in the first picture chases the other around a lot....

Your help is appreciated.... Thanks :feedback:

1st keyhole, 2nd not sure, last few are bolivian rams

no way. none of the fish you just named are in those pics.

1st and 2nd look like a geophagus brasiliensis to me. The others look like geophagus or gymnogeophagus geni to me too.

Yeah I've had brasiliensis before so I know the first two pics are for sure those......but the third fourth and fifth seem like a bit of a different species of geophagus....
