Help ID This Geophagus

[Nemesis]

Hi, I just picked up this Geophagus from LouieV today, and we are not sure what kind it is. I was told it was wild, and pretty rare. Would appreciate any info. Thanks.

Wow this is a tough one. It still looks pretty small so its hard to tell. My non expert guess is Acarichthys heckelii. Not sure though.
